Yo, get, get up on the TLC tip

Get, get up on the TLC tip

Hey now

You know how to pull my chain

And I believe every word you say

But now it's time we must say goodbye

Baby I'm leaving so don't you cry

I tried to make things work

But now you're gone and your heart got hurt

Well you thought I belong to you

But you were wrong so now what ya gon' do

Chorus:

Bad by myself

I can do bad, bad by my damn self

I can do bad by myself

Yo I done it before and I can do it again

Sho don't need you to be my man

Don't come bangin' on my door

Now you're gone I don't want you anymore

There's no reason for you to come around

So just step off so I don't have to break it down

I know what I'm doin' now

You think you're gonna change my mind somehow

You cheated me now I'm cheatin' back

I run the show and you can kiss my

You know the rest

You Left Eye what it is

My soda crack o' my ackra back o' da "T" To da "B" to da "O" to

Da "Z" and C.H.I wit da double LI. L.E.F.T.E.Y.E. EyeE.I.E.I.O.

So yo how's ya linin'

I was givin' a niggah a piece o' time

But my time can't be wasted on B.S.

So nevermind

Chorus

You I can do bad all by byself

I sho don't need you and anyone else

I ain't gonna be a fool no more

Better take that mess on out the door

Tried to ruin my world

Tried to run my life

Must be crazy thinkin' I'm your wife

Yo I done it before and I can do it again

Sho don't need you to be my man

Yep, yep (hey) get up on the TLC tip

Chorus

Yo if Peter Piper weas to pick ya know a peck o' those pickled

Peppers gave his girly little Shirley half a peck

He could've kept her but instead da picklehead

Was kicked out da waterbad

And greedy Petey now is needy cause not one was all that he lefther

Oooooooh I'm sayin' it once and not twice

Givin' advice to be nice before you fall through the ice

Cause lately you been slippin' up a lot

Not even givin' half o' what you got

But it's about that time you gave a quarter for a dime

Shovel up and start diggin' to see what you can find

That security deposit

So like it or leave it but until I receive it

I'll be leavin' my deposit elsewhere

You best belive it

And that way we can both take a trip

Oooh on the TLC tip

Now that's the one
