Bad By Myself

[Intro]

Yo, get, get up on the TLC tip

Yo, get, get up on the TLC tip

Yo, get, get up on the TLC tip

Get, get up on the TLC tip

Hey now

[Verse 1: T-Boz]

You know how to pull my chain

And I believe every word you say

But now it's time for you to 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 belonged to you

But you were wrong, so now what ya gon' do?

[Chorus]

Bad by myself (Yeah, yeah)

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

Sure don't need you to be my man

[Verse 2: T-Boz]

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 won't ya 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, uh

I run the show and you can kiss my (You know the rest)

Yo, Left-Eye, what it is?

[Bridge: Left-Eye, (T-Boz)]

My soda crack, my ackra back ya know

"T" to da "B" to da "O" to Da "Z"

And C-H-I wit da double L-I

L-E-F-T-E-Y-E-  E-I-E-I-O (So yo how's ya livin'?)

I was givin' a nigga piece of time

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

Ahh so never mind

[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

Sure don't need you to be my man

[Verse 3: Left-Eye]

Yo, I can do bad all by myself

I 'sho don't need you or 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

[Breakdown: TLC]

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

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

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

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

[Chorus: TLC, (Chilli)]

Bad by myself (I-I can do bad!)

I can do bad, bad by my damn self (Oh, oh, I'm bad)

I can do bad by myself (Ooh)

Yo, I done it before and I can do it again

Sure don't need you to be my man

[Verse 4: Left-Eye]

Yo, if Peter Piper was to pick ya know a peck o' pickled peppers

Gave his girly little Shirley half a peck

He coulda kept her but instead da pickle head

Was kicked out da waterbed

And greedy Petey now is needy 'cause not one was all he left her

Ooh, 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

Oh, zero then take a trip to ya closet

And come forth wit that security deposit

So like it or leave it but until I receive it

I'll be leavin' my deposit elsewhere

You best believe it

And that way we can both take a trip

[Outro: TLC]

Ooh, on the TLC tip

Now that's the one
