Ask me boy
3
I'll tell you so
4
Don't you talk to the world
5
You can talk to me baby
6
Somethin' you wanna know
7
Yo Left Eye
8
I can't believe he fell for that rumor
9
All he had to do was come ask you
10
Sittin' all alone can't think of nothin' better to do
11
So yo I keeps callin' you
12
Each discussion's a little bit colder
13
Seems to me you givin' two of those shoulders
14
Whatever it is and if it's nothin'
15
I wish that you would tell me somethin'
16
Got me thinkin' I'm losin' you
17
Yo so what am I suppose to do
18
[Chorus:]
19
Somethin' you wanna know
20
Ask me boy
21
I'll tell you so
22
Don't you talk to the world
23
You can talk to me baby
24
Somethin' you wanna know
25
Ask me boy
26
I'll tell you so
27
You can talk to your girl
28
I won't lie to you baby
29
Scratchin' up the phone goin' crazy
30
You think it' atin't suppose to phase me
31
Yellin' at you for even startin' to belive
32
In any kind of that crap street yap you been receivin'
33
And what's so unfair
34
You been doggin' me out about matters unclear
35
You can't solve a problem it it's trapped inside your mind
36
It's a conversation blind
37
[Chorus]
38
You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you
39
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (ah)
40
You know that everything they tell you boy is just hearsay
41
You gotta be careful when the rumor's out
42
True enough now you know if I were to pick up
43
A piece of that he say she say stuff
44
Think about it
45
I would doubt it as to callin' a bluff
46
But unlike you I wouldn't breaka da rules
47
By jumpin' into concluse
48
I'd eat a steak and potato while thinkin' it over later
49
Leave a tip two quarters and a condom for the waiter
50
What to do
51
Now's the time I decided to bring it on back to you
52
So we can talk it through and through
53
Becasue it ain't nothin' better than talkin' to me
54
When you wanna know somethin'
55
Than havin' to get a piece of info from who knows
56
I'm gettin' fed up cause yo cuz
57
Words become a quote or somethin' better like a story
58
It's far from okey doke close to fiction
59
Half is true but then the other is a conviction
60
So I'm blamed with an infliction
61
From which others have created
62
Then have socially debated
63
So yo don't you know that the story's been inflated
64
[Chorus]
65
You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you
66
Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (hey)
67
You know that everything that they tell you boy is just hearsay
68
You gotta be careful (careful) when the rumor's out
69
You can talk to me, you can talk to me
70
If it's somethin' you wanna know (something you wanna know)
71
They just ask me baby
72
Ooh so tenderly (so tenderly)
73
I'll tell you what you wanna hear (I'll tell you somethin')
74
You can talk to your girl
75
I won't lie to you baby
76
Remember don't let anyone come between you
77
With he say she say
78
Yeah you know those words
79
And this advice is never to be forgotten
80
That misery loves company (I'll tell you so)
81
And this special shot goes out to all those
82
(You can talk to your girl)
83
(I won't lie to you baby)
84
Who are in love
85
Peace
86
[Chorus]
