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 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 suppose 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 suppose to phase me Yellin' at you for even startin' to belive In any kind of that crap street yap you been receivin' And what's so unfair You been doggin' me out about matters unclear You can't solve a problem it it's trapped inside your mind It's a conversation blind
HOOK
You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (ah) 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 say she say stuff Think about it I would doubt it as to callin' a bluff But unlike you I wouldn't breaka 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 I decided to bring it on back to you So we can talk it through and through Becasue 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 'cause yo cuz Words become a quote or somethin' better like a story It's far from okey doke 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 Then have socially debated So yo don't you know that the story's been inflated
