Paroles
[Verse 1]
I believe in yesterday
I believe in yester-
[Verse 2]
What's the problem?
You keep comin' in and comin' out and singin' flat
(Yo, I'm sorry, I'm trying to sing) What's up?
What's wrong? You're not concentrating (Yes, I am concentrating)
No, you're not (I'm sorry, let's just do it again)
No, n-n-n-n-n-no, no, what's the problem? (There's no problem)
Dawn, what's wrong? (There's nothin' wrong, Terry)
Kevin? Please don't tell me it's Kevin (No, it is not Kevin, God)
Ew, Kevin Swahili, I knew it, he's got cooties
And he's seein' Shanika right now (He is not)
And everybody else (Shan-, he is not seeing Ronika)
He is (Is he? How you know?)
Wait a minute, you guys, look (No, he's not)
Okay, you need to leave his butt alone, that's what
Wait, wait, wait, you guys, we should not attack her
It sounds like it's serious (Thank you)
Because we can't concentrate and get this right (Thank you)
Okay
So let's deal with the problem
You see, I've been through this myself and let's talk
Okay
[Verse 3]
And it goes a little somethin' like this
Hit it!
[Verse 4]
Baby girl (Unfair, but true)
Can love him once, but not twice
Who plays games with no rules? (A fool)
Tears for fears (Are no surprise)
Happens almost every time
[Verse 5]
Love knocks you on your behind
Loved you hard, loved you long, now his love is gone
Love 'em and leave 'em is the rule of most dogs
So you must be strong
Stand up on your own
Take control of your life
[Verse 6]
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, no
Don't get down and miserable
You and only you can bring yourself around
[Verse 7]
(Ow)
Give it up, turn it loose
Ow, if they don't want you, you don't need 'em
Girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Ah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Fact of life (So sad but true)
Love can often hurt you
Leaving scars most your life
(Nightmares can haunt you)
Mmm, but fairytales of love can come true
Both play tricks on your mind
[Verse 9]
You'll be fine
Take this time to find peace of mind
Sooner or later bad feelings will die
You must be strong
Don't blame it all on love
In time good things will come
[Verse 10]
I've seen it time and time again
It's not worth it, nah, no
Don't get down and miserable
You and only you can bring yourself around
[Verse 11]
Mmm (Ow) Give it up, turn it loose
Ah, if they don't want you, you don't need 'em
Girl, yeah
Give it up, turn it loose
Ah, yeah
[Verse 12]
Mmm, yeah
Oh
(Give it up) Give it up
Oh
Yeah, ah yeah
Oh
[Verse 13]
(Give up) Give it up
(Give up) Give it up (Give it up, turn it loose)
Turn it loose, baby
(Give up) Give it up
(Give up) Give it up (Give it up, turn it loose)
Turnin' it loose, baby
[Verse 14]
(Give up) Give it, give it, give it, give it
(Give up) Give it, give it, give it, give it (Give it up, turn it loose)
Turn it loose
[Verse 15]
(Give it up) Oh, yeah
(Give up) Turn it loose (Give it up, turn it loose)...
