Yo dis is TLC

And if n ya know dat yo man is startin´ to flip
Shock dat monkey on the TLC Tip

Y´all know we ain´t down for no monkey business
Erri uuhh erri uuhh erri
It ain´t even like that
Yo T-Boz kick it

When you know that it´s good
And you know that it´s hot
All the girlies want a piece of what you´ve got
When a man is a man
And it´s all in his face
He´s ´gon jump all on it
Cause it be´s that way

Gotta get up on it
Put that heart aside
Ain´t about that lovin´
It´s all about that pride
If you do unto him
What he does all the time
That´s the only thing for sure
To keep that nickel in line
You gotta go

If he plays in the field
And he´s shamin´ your name
Got no time for tears
You can get in the game
If a man is a man
And he calls you a ho
Ain´t no point in playin´
If he doesn´t know (yeah)

Don´t let him know
If you don´t go through it
And if it blows
Hey just don´t sweat it
Now you´te in control
If you just don´t screw it
Shock him before
He knows you know so

Lendin´ a leg cause you ain´t too proud to beg
For a quick sensation invitation
And bein´ that I am the kinda girl that I am
Lend a hand can´t dare you to give a damn
Cause his story can be my story too
Ooohhh monkey see monkey do

When you know that it´s good
And you know that it´s hot
