Chorus:
|
Man...T-Boz tried to talk to me
|
You don't have to believe me
|
It may have been a big mistake
|
And if it was my heart will break
|
I'm serious...T-Boz tried to talk to me
|
|
So have you ever heard of a group called TLC
|
With hits like "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" and "Baby-Baby-Baby"
|
New Years Day of 1992 I was chilling
|
With The Leaders Of The New
|
At the Fox Theater venue
|
Atlanta, Georgia where the girls don't ignore ya
|
Geronimo had two girls... and said this one's for ya
|
The two were close related... in fact sister kindred
|
And I was scheming on a way to get her into bed
|
1992 when I was rhyming for fun
|
Had the thickest new style...but no demo done
|
I wasn't feeling down about my past situation
|
I had only seen TLC on Video Vibrations
|
Yes this was just before they blew up
|
While I was gaming on the girl I had a chance to look up
|
TLC walked in with my man Yusef
|
Left Eye is the name because she played me to the left
|
The girl I was with was silly...
|
But I was trying to get on T-Boz any motherfucking way
|
But what was I to say...
|
Hey shit I was a nobody
|
And nobody had ever heard of Count Bass-D
|
Or TLC, but my despair turned into glee
|
When T-Boz pushed up and introduce herself to me
|
My heart went mushy...I know you don't believe me
|
But T-Boz of TLC tried to talk to me
|
|
Chorus

Chorus
|
|
Yeah I saw you on TV last week
|
Hello, T-Boz my name is Count Bass D
|
I was thinking last week while I was watching your video clip
|
That when I got rich I'd have to kiss your lips
|
That's how I wanted to step...but I had my doubts
|
About her finding out about my lack of clout
|
I guess she saw me with
|
The Leaders and assumed I had a record deal
|
But I was mesmerized with her sex appeal
|
Rumors ran free that she loved Jodeci
|
Who gives a fuck about K-Ci
|
He's just as skinny as me
|
Don't get me wrong...in singing songs nobody's better
|
But I get around like 2Pac and chain letters
|
But this time I slippped though...got played like a wimp though
|
The Pharcyde said it fly she kept passing me by
|
Not even Merrill Stubing could have played more friendly
|
Huh...T-Boz tried to talk to me yo
|
|
Chorus

|
Chorus
|
|
Last time y'all
|
Females only step to niggas once in a while
|
And you should react if she seems worthwhile
|
T-Boz was a goddess
|
I'm honest I wouldn't lie to ya
|
But I procrastinated like a paper overdue
|
I know you're saying he's just a crumb
|
He couldn't get none
|
But T-Boz was a female who was full of sincerity
|
I know it sounds hard to believe
|
And I could give a fuck if you believe me but
|
T-Boz tried to talk to me
|
