Somethin` you wanna know
Ask me boy
I`ll tell you so
Don`t you talk to the world
You can talk to me baby
Somethin` you wanna know

Yo Left Eye
I can`t believe he fell for that rumor
All he had to do was come ask you

Sittin` all alone can`t think of nothin` better to do
So yo I keeps callin` you
Each discussion`s a little bit colder
Seems to me you givin` two of those shoulders
Whatever it is and if it`s nothin`
I wish that you would tell me somethin`
Got me thinkin` I`m losin` you
Yo so what am I suppose to do

Somethin` you wanna know
Ask me boy
I`ll tell you so
Don`t you talk to the world
You can talk to me baby
Somethin` you wanna know
Ask me boy
I`ll tell you so
You can talk to your girl
I won`t lie to you baby

Scratchin` up the phone goin` crazy
You think it` ain`t suppose to phase me
Yellin` at you for even startin` to belive
In any kind of that crap street yap you been receivin`
And what`s so unfair
You been doggin` me out about matters unclear
You can`t solve a problem it it`s trapped inside your mind
It`s a conversation blind

HOOK

You know you shouldn`t fall for everything that they tell you
Unless you get it straight from the horse`s mouth (ah)
You know that everything they tell you boy is just hearsay
You gotta be careful when the rumor`s out

True enough now you know if I were to pick up
A piece of that he say she say stuff
Think about it
I would doubt it as to callin` a bluff
But unlike you I wouldn`t breaka da rules
By jumpin` into concluse
I`d eat a steak and potato while thinkin` it over later
Leave a tip two quarters and a condom for the waiter
What to do
Now`s the time I decided to bring it on back to you
So we can talk it through and through
Becasue it ain`t nothin` better than talkin` to me
When you wanna know somethin`
Than havin` to get a piece of info from who knows
I`m gettin` fed up `cause yo cuz
Words become a quote or somethin` better like a story
It`s far from okey doke close to fiction
Half is true but then the other is a conviction
So I`m blamed with an infliction
From which others have created
Then have socially debated
So yo don`t you know that the story`s been inflated

You know you shouldn`t fall for everything that they tell you
Unless you get it straight from the horse`s mouth (ah)
You know that everything they tell you boy is just hearsay
You gotta be careful when the rumor`s out

You can talk to me, you can talk to me
If it`s somethin` you wanna know (something you wanna know)
They just ask me baby
Ooh so tenderly (so tenderly)
I`ll tell you what you wanna hear (I`ll tell you somethin`)
You can talk to your girl
I won`t lie to you baby

Remember don`t let anyone come between you
With he say she say
Yeah you know those words
And this advice is never to be forgotten
That misery loves company (I`ll tell you so)
And this special shot goes out to all those
(You can talk to your girl)
(I won`t lie to you baby)
Who are in love
Peace
