Performed by TLC
From the 1992 album, Ooooooohhh...On the TLC Tip.
Guys they always wonder about me (yeah, I hear ya "T")
Cause everything I have is my own (I'm feelin' dis)
There's no other way you can doubt me (and I'm listenin')
Before I trust you I'll just be here alone
Can I tell ya, can I tell ya, can I tell ya
Gosh golly dern so you still haven't learned
Well I'll be a damn fool
See cause it's headaches you've honestly earned me
You're jackin' da plan I'm like who are you man
Peter Pan but it's still cool G
Slack off my back slip da hell out
My knee and yo correct dat effect
And stop illin' on me
I'm not feelin dis G
Chorus:
I can depend on myself
I don't need anybody else
To be on my back like that, to be on my back like that
(Repeat)
Guys they always wonder what's with me
(say what, say what, say what?)
I never let them get in too close
I have my own control
I can't be bought or sold
And I never have to do what I'm told
Yo ladies are you feelin' what I'm sayin'
Well smoke okey doke as if this was a joke
Cause you think you got balls of the great n' black jaws
But your leg I will poke like an egg crackin' a busted yolk
It's a negative cause I won't pause
Til you truthfully see are you
Listenin' to me?
Til you truthfully
See indendently like I handle myself
I need nobody else
Chorus
A fist full of fate how much more can I take
This is 6 minus 7 plus 1 ending none (zero) you should go to
Where I'm comin' from take your turn tryna teach
A dumb-dumb so it be (take your time) just a bad memory
Til you truthfully see are you listenin' to me?
Til you truthfully see independently
Like I handle myself I need nobody else
Chorus
