[Intro: DarkChild]
Oh no uh uh uh oh no
Oh no uh uh uh oh no
Oh no uh uh uh oh no
Oh no uh uh uh oh no

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
You think
You can play mind games
On me
Tommy doesn't know
Will wants me
While you do your thang
I'm playin' house wife
While you're off the chain
And I told you
Straight from the jump
No commitment
But that's what you wanted
Now you
Do what you want to
Hear you get around
While you hold me down

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
Guys think they can see through you
Do anything that they want to do
I tell you one thing is true
I can do much better than you

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey hey
You gots to be on your way
You're playin' games I don't play
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do
Hey hey hey hey
You gots to be on your way
You're playin' games I don't play
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do

[Verse 2: T-Boz]
Well they say:
Playa get played
I'm not with that (Whoo)
I hate to play the game
Of get back (Get back)
I'm better than that
Though you messed around
With half the town
You know
I ain't no hoe
But fo' 'sho
I'm letting you go
You act like
You got it wrapped tight
Yeah you're wastin' time
So I'm goin' for mine

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
Guys think they can see through you
Do anything that they want to do
I tell you one thing is true
I can do much better than you (Hey, hey)

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey hey
You gots to be on your way (On your way)
You're playin' games I don't play (I don't play)
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Gonna do)
Hey hey hey hey (Hey!)
You gots to be on your way (On your way)
You're playin' games I don't play (I don't like to play)
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Gonna do)

[Bridge: TLC]
You keep tryin'
But you keep lyin'
Expectin' for me
To keep cryin'
You keep callin'
And you keep stalkin'
Keep on talkin'
While you keep walkin'

You keep tryin'
But you keep lyin' (Oh no!)
Expecting for me
To keep cryin' (Oh no)
You keep callin'
And you keep stalkin' (Oh no)
Keep on talkin'
While you keep walkin'

[Chorus]
Hey hey hey hey (hey hey hey hey)
You gots to be on your way (On your way)
You're playin' games I don't play (I don't like to play)
If you want to stay with me (No no no)
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Gonna do)
Hey hey hey hey (Hey ay hey)
You gots to be on your way (Gots to be on your way)
You're playin' games I don't play (I don't like to play)
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Hey ay)

Hey hey hey hey (Heyy)
You gots to be on your way (On your way)
You're playin' games I don't play (I don't play)
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do)
Hey hey hey hey (Hey hey hey hey hey)
You gots to be on your way (Gotta get out the door)
You're playin' games I don't play (Whatcha stay up waitin' for?)
If you want to stay with me
Drop them hoes tell me
What you're gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do?)

Hey hey hey hey (Hey hey hey)

Oh no!

TLC is a trio whose musical repertoire spans over R&B, hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, funk, and new jack swing.

Consisting of Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, rapper-singer Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, and singer Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, TLC found unprecedented success in the 1990s, not only as a musical group, but also for an extensive series of high profiled spats with the law, each other, and with their record label—all of which helped to solidify them as one of the definitive recording acts to emerge during the aforementioned time span.

The group, which is in fact the highest-selling girl group in America with 65 million records sold, is known for tackling important social issues in their music such as AIDS awareness, violence, domestic abuse, anorexia, bulimia, sexism, racism, and homophobia.
