[Intro: Sporty]
Ooh, yeah, yeah, come on
[Verse 1: Baby, Posh, Scary & Ginger]
You think you're quick
But I'd like to see you keep up with me
You think you're slick
But I'd like to see you pull a trick on me
You think you're so cool
Hey, big man, you're old school
You think you're smart
But who the hell d'ya think you're talking to?
[Pre-Chorus: All]
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself, tell me why keep on
[Chorus: All]
Denying everything you say
Denying everything you do
So be a fool to yourself forevermore
Trying any kind of move
Tell me, so what's it gonna prove?
You ain't foolin' nobody
You ain't foolin' nobody but yourself
[Verse 2: Baby, Posh, Scary & Ginger]
I know you're sweet
But I know you don't wanna be seen that way
Admit defeat, win or lose
Who cares? It's just a game you play
I know you need me
If you stay that way, it's never gonna be
You've got your style
But I know what you really want from me
[Pre-Chorus: All]
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself, tell me why keep on
[Chorus: All]
Denying everything you say
Denying everything you do
So be a fool to yourself forevermore
Trying any kind of move
Tell me, so what's it gonna prove?
You ain't foolin' nobody
You ain't foolin' nobody but yourself
[Bridge: All & (Scary)]
(Ha ha, check yourself)
Check yourself
But don't forget yourself
'Cause you're denying
(Ha ha, ha ha, check yourself, ha, uh-don't forget yourself)
Check yourself
But don't forget yourself
'Cause you're denying
(You're gettin' everything you are
And even everything you need, that's life, come on
Ha ha, check yourself)
[Pre-Chorus: All]
Everyone can see who you are
Take a look at yourself, tell me why keep on
[Chorus: All & (Sporty)]
Denying everything you say
Denying everything you do
