TLC's Lyrics Page - this page features: "Waterfalls", "No Scrubs", and "Unpretty" - Entertainment

A lonely mother gazing out of her window
Staring at a son that she just can't touch
If at any time he's in a jam, she'll be by his side
But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
But all the praying just ain't helping
At all 'cause he can't seem to keep
His self out of trouble
So he goes out and he makes his money
The best way he knows how
Another body laying cold in the gutter, listen to me

Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers
And the lakes that you're used to
I know that you're gonna have it your way
Or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast
Little precious has a natural obsession
For temptation but he just can't see
She gives him loving that his body can't handle
But all he can say is baby it's good to me
One day he goes and takes a glimpse in the mirror
But he doesn't recognize his own face
His health is fading and he doesn't know why
3 letters took him to his final resting place
Y'all don't hear me?

(rpt 1)

I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days

And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' raiin
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine into your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day in time
For fallin' prey to crime
i say the system got you victim to your own mind

Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you

(rpt 1, 1)

"No Scrubs"

Oh, ho, ho

[Chilli]
A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fine and is
Also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass (on his, on his, on his)
So... (no)

I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of time and (no)

I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me

[Chilli]
Well a scrubs is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know he can not approach me
Cause I'm looking like class and he's looking like trash
Can't get it wit' a deadbeat ass (deadbeat)
So... (no)

I don't want your number (no)
I don't want to give you mine and (no)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (no)
I don't want none of time (no)

Repeat 1

Bridge

If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you
If you live at home with your momma (I'm talking to you)
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you
If you have a shorty but you don't show love
Oh yes son, I'm talking to you
Wanna get me with no money
Oh no, I don't want no oh

No scrub
No scrub
No, no

No scrub
No scrub
No, no (no)

Repeat 1 until fade

"Unpretty"

I wish I could've tie you up in my shoes
make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who's inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today.

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
Is because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

CHORUS

You can buy your hair if it won't grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make up that man can make
But if you can't look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in the position to make me feel so
D*** unpretty.

I make you feel unpretty too

Never insecure until I met you
Now I'm in stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I'll get back to me.

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through
Is because of you
I try different ways
But it's all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I keep on trippin'

CHORUS TWICE

Make you feel unpretty too
I make you feel unpretty

CHORUS TWICE WITH ADLIB AND FADE OUT
