Lyrics

Lie Detector

[Intro: Mýa, Wyclef]

New millennium

Yo, pump this in your jeeps

This is for all y'all out there

That ever dealt with somebody

Pump this in your jeeps

Who be lying, fakin', cheatin', stealin', creepin', BS'in'

Pump this in your jeeps

I got this thing called the lie detector

Two teaspoons and they're bound to tell the truth, listen

Pump this in your jeeps

[Verse 1: Mýa (Wyclef)]

You told me that I was your fantasy yeah (It's yours)

You said that we would practice monogamy

So, I became a freak under the sheets

Put his ass to sleep... creeped into the kitchen

Got the remedy... it's called the lie detector

I slipped it in his drink... brought it to his bedside

And said "take a sip of this and don't think"

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mýa]

You won't believe what happened when he sipped the lie detector

Looked into his eyes, asked him "where you been?"

He said "it's no surprise cause I've been with my ex girl"

"Why ain't you tell me the truth?"

He said, "you don't wanna hear the truth"...

Sometimes I wish I never gave him a detector

I thought he loved me but he loved her

So I'm kind of glad he took the lie detector

Now I know the truth, so you can get the boot

[Chorus: Beenie Man (Wyclef)]

Man, God of to, God of to, God of to go (Beenie Man)

Come and tie up you, tie up you, tie up you tongue (Mýa)

Else, head ago, head ago, head ago roll

When she finds out you and her friend lie down

[Verse 2: Mýa]

She told you "baby let's get married" (It's yours)

"I'll always be faithful so let's spend eternity"

So, he became a freak under the sheets (Uh huh)

Put her ass to sleep... creeped into the kitchen

Got the remedy... it's called the lie detector

Slipped it in her drink... brought it to her bedside

And said "take a sip of this and don't think"

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mýa (Wyclef)]

You won't believe what happened when he gave her lie detector

Looked at the pager number said "who's code sixty-nine?"

She said, "don't be surprised cause 69's your best friend"

He looked and swallow his pride frontin' like tough guys don't cry

Sometimes he wish he never gave her a detector

Thought that she loved him, but she loved his best friend

But now he's kind of glad she took the lie detector

He found out the truth, so he gave her the boot

(Beenie man where you at?)

[Verse 3: Beenie Man]

Look at all the women in the country

It ain't my fault if the girls, them want to love me

True me make out of heat

Why the girls them want to look at me

True, me the girls them sugar

The girls them want to taste me

Anyway, my life is sweet, my girl is neat

But out on the street the girls are dropping at my feet

Well my point of view, the way I see it

Without defeat love your girl, don't cheat

[Bridge: Mýa, Beenie Man]

If you got any type of suspicion

Baby it's all up to your expectations

Make sure that it's real communication

The love I have for you is stronger than the foundation

Don't want to find yourself askin', "how did this happen?"

My heart is closed, my love is not open

Friday the 13th, went to the movies

Baby love me up and get grooving, grooving

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mýa (Wyclef)]

You won't believe what happened when he sipped the lie detector

Looked into his eyes, asked him "where you been?" (It's yours)

He said "it's no surprise cause I've been with my ex girl"

"Why ain't you tell me the truth?"

He said, "you don't wanna hear the truth"...

Sometimes I wish I never gave him a detector

I thought he loved me but he loved her (It's yours)

So I'm kind of glad he took the lie detector

Now I know the truth, so you can get the boot (Come again)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mýa]

You won't believe what happened when he gave her lie detector

Looked at the pager number said "who's code sixty-nine?"

She said, "don't be surprised cause 69's your best friend"

He looked and swallow his pride frontin' like tough guys don't cry

Sometimes he wish he never gave her a detector

Thought that she loved him, but she loved his best friend

But now he's kind of glad she took the lie detector

He found out the truth, so he gave her the boot

[Chorus: Beenie Man (Wyclef)]

Man, God of to, God of to, God of to go (Beenie Man)

Come and tie up you, tie up you, tie up you tongue (Mýa)

Else, head ago, head ago, head ago roll (University)

When she finds out you and her friend lie down

Man, God of to, God of to, God of to go (Booga Basement)

Come and tie up you, tie up you, tie up you tongue (Wyclef)

Else, head ago, head ago, head ago roll (Jerry Wonder)

When she finds out you and her friend lie down

[Outro: Wyclef]

New millennium

R&B meet the Caribbean

We bout to take over the world

I told y'all, whoo
