Yo dis is TLC
Yeah and we`re back to school da girlies
And if n ya know dat yo man is startin` to flip
Shock dat monkey on the TLC Tip
Y`all know we ain`t down for no monkey business
Erri uuhh erri uuhh erri
It ain`t even like that
Yo T-Boz kick it
When you know that it`s good
And you know that it`s hot
All the girlies want a piece of what you`ve got
When a man is a man
And it`s all in his face
He`s `gon jump all on it
Cause it be`s that way
Gotta get up on it
Put that heart aside
Ain`t about that lovin`
It`s all about that pride
If you do unto him
What he does all the time
That`s the only thing for sure
To keep that nickel in line
You gotta go
[Chorus]
Shock dat monkey
Shock `em good shock `em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock `em good, shock `em good
Shock dat monkey
If he plays in the field
And he`s shamin` your name
Got no time for tears
You can get in the game
If a man is a man
And he calls you a ho
Ain`t no point in playin`
If he doesn`t know (yeah)
Don`t let him know
If you don`t go through it
And if it blows
Hey just don`t sweat it
Now you`re in control
If you just don`t screw it
Shock him before
He knows you know so
[Chorus]
Yo you wanna know somethin` I`m in a situation
Like it or not it`s you, your own creation
Lendin` a leg cause you ain`t too proud to beg
For a quick sensation invitation
And bein` that I am the kinda girl that I am
Lend a hand and dare you to give a damn
Cause his story can be my story too
Ooohhh monkey see monkey do
When you know that it`s good
And you know that it`s hot
All the girlies want a piece of what you`ve got
When a man is a man
And it`s all in his face
He`s `gon jump all on it
Cause it be`s that way (yeah)
[Chorus]
[Break]
Yo it ain`t cool and as a matter of fact
Get the monkey up off your back
And when he wanna know where you`re at
Get the monkey up off your back
Even if he don`t like it like dat
Get the monkey up off your back
You gotta do it to keep `em intact
Get that monkey up offa your back
[Chorus]
Gotta get up on
Put that heart aside
It ain`t about that lovin`
It`s all about that pride
If you do unto him
What he does all the time
That`s the only thing for sure
To keep that nickel in line
Hey
