TLC - Somethin' You Wanna Know Lyrics

Somethin' you wanna know
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you wanna know
Yo, Left Eye, I can't believe he fell for that rumor
All he had to do was come ask you

Sittin' all alone, can't think of nothin' better to do
So yo, I keeps callin' you
Each discussion's a little bit colder
Seems to me you're givin' two of those shoulders
Whatever it is and if it's nothin'
I wish that you would tell me somethin'
Got me thinkin' I'm losin' you
Yo, so what am I supposed to do?

Somethin' you wanna know
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you wanna know
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby

Scratchin' up the phone goin' crazy
You think it ain't supposed to faze me
Yellin' at you for even startin' to believe
In any kind of street crap yap you been receivin'
And what's so unfair, you been doggin' me out about matters unclear
You can't solve a problem if it's trapped inside your mind
It's a conversation blind

Somethin' you wanna know (if you really wanna know)
Ask me, boy (I'm the one who knows)
I'll tell you so (oh baby, talk to me)
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you wanna know (no, baby)
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby

You know you shouldn't fall for anything that they tell you
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth
Ahh
You know that everything they tell you, boy, is just hearsay
You gotta be careful when the rumor's out

True enough, now you know if I were to pick up a piece of that he said-she said stuff
Think about it
I would doubt it as to callin' a bluff
But unlike you, I wouldn't break da rules by jumpin' into concluse
I'd eat a steak and potato while thinkin' it over later
Leave a tip, two quarters and a condom for the waiter
What to do?
Now's the time to bring it on back to you so we can talk it through and through
Because it ain't nothin' better than talkin' to me
When you wanna know somethin' than havin' to get a piece of info from who knows
I'm gettin' fed up, yo, 'cause words become a quote or somethin' better like a story
It's far from hunky dory, close to fiction
Half is true, but then the other is a conviction
So I'm blamed with an infliction from which others have created than have socially debated
So don't you know that the story's been inflated

Somethin' you wanna know (oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ask me, boy (if you wanna know)
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world (oh, tell me, yeah)
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you wanna know
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby

You know you shouldn't fall for anything that they tell you, ooh
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth
Hey
You know that everything they tell you, boy, is just hearsay
You've got to be careful (Careful) when the rumor's out

You can talk to me (you can talk to me)
If it's somethin' you wanna know (somethin' you wanna know)
Then just ask me, baby
Ooh, so tenderly (so tenderly)
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby

Remember, don't let anyone come between you with he said-she said
Yeah, you know those words
And this advice is only to be taken that misery loves company
(I'll tell you so)
And this special shot goes out to all those who are in love
(You can talk to your girl, I won't lie to you, baby)

(Somethin' you wanna know) Peace
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
Don't you talk to the world (oh, tell me, yeah)
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you wanna know
Ask me, boy
I'll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby

Is there somethin' you (somethin' you wanna know)
Is there somethin' you, somethin' you wanna know, oh?
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me, baby (baby, tell me)
Is there somethin' you (somethin' you wanna know)
Is there somethin' you, somethin' you wanna know, oh?
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby
Ooh, somethin' you (somethin' you wanna know)
Somethin' you, somethin' you wanna know, oh
Don't you talk to the world
You can talk to me, baby
Somethin' you (somethin' you wanna know)
Ooh, somethin' you, somethin' you wanna know, oh
You can talk to your girl
I won't lie to you, baby
Somethin' you (somethin' you wanna know)
Somethin' you, somethin' you wanna know, oh
Don't you talk to the world'
You can talk to me, baby
