Somethin' you want to know Ask me boy I'll tell you so Don't you talk to the world You can talk to me baby Somethin' you want to 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 disscussion'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 supposed to do [Chorus] Somethin' you want to know Ask me boy I'll tell you so Don't you talk to the world You can talk to me baby Somethin' you want to 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 believe In any kind of that crap street yap you been receivin' And what's so unfare You been doggin' me out about matters unclear You can't solve a problem if it's trapped inside your mind It's a conversation blind [Chorus] 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 Because it ain't nothin' better than talkin' to me When you want to know somethin' Than havin' to get a piece of info from who knows I'm gettin' fed up yo 'cause 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 you don't you know that the story's been inflated [Chorus] You know you shouldn't fall for everything that they tell you Unless you get it straight from the horse's mouth (hey) You know that everything they tell you boy is just hearsay You got to be careful (careful) when the rumor's out You can talk to me, you can talk to me If it's somethin' you want to know (something you want to know) Then just ask me baby Ooh so tenderly (so tenderly) I'll tell you what you want to 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 the 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 [Chorus]
