[Intro]
Dark Child, TLC, let's go

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
It seems like, when I'm with you
Only crazy broads, seem to find you
And I'm thinkin' like, how do they know you?
And just what are you into?
Cause I'm diggin' you, if everything is cool
But if you're playing games, was good to know you
Let me give you a clue, we could be stuck like glue
But I refuse to be a fool

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
I wanna get with you but it just seems so crazy
Are these girls necessary?
Why are they all up on you?
And why do you act like it's cool?
I'm not gonna be your around so you can try and play me
It don't work that way baby
So let me know who you choose
If I'm here waiting for you

[Chorus]
I don't like to play around
That's not how I get down
No foolishness allowed
Who's it gon' be?
I'm not stressing over you
So whatcha gonna do?
Keep playing you will lose
Who's it gon' be?
(Boy, boy, boy)
(Boy, boy, boy)
(TLC)

[Verse 2: T-Boz]
It doesn't feel right, when I'm with you
Having these broads, keep approaching you
If my thoughts are true, I will be with you
You will see just what I'll do
But if my thoughts are wrong, and what you say is true
I ask you to forgive, before accusing you
I pray I'll never see, the day go when you
Decide those chicks should be with you

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli]
I wanna get with you but it just seems so crazy
Are these girls necessary?
Why are they all up on you?
And why do you act like it's cool?
I'm not gonna be around so you can try and play me
It don't work that way, baby
So let me know who you choose
If I'm here waiting for you (Lets go)

[Chorus]
I don't like to play around (Don't like to play around)
That's not how I get down (No no)
No foolishness allowed
Who's it gon' be? (Yeah)
I'm not stressing over you (Not gon' stress)
So whatcha gonna do? (Whatcha gonna do?)
Keep playing you will lose
Who's it gon' be?

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
It's been a minute since I seen you
I've just been killin' time
Lettin' all these bitches know
That you will always be mine
Disappear and reappear
We held it down through the years
All the crazy shit we've been through
Can't take no more tears
Fell in love when I first met you
Put you all on my team
Introduced you to my crew
Told you my every dream
It was us against the world
Nobody could come between
Passionate, crazy shit
If you know what I mean (let's go)

[Chorus (2x)]
I don't like to play around
That's not how I get down
No foolishness allowed
Who's it gon' be?
I'm not stressing over you
So whatcha gonna do?
Keep playing you will lose (Yea yea)
Who's it gon' be?

[Bridge (2x): DarkChild]
Who's it gon' be?
Who's it gon' be?
Who's it gon' be?
TLC

[Chorus]
I don't like to play around
That's not how I get down
No foolishness allowed
Who's it gon' be?
I'm not stressing over you
So whatcha gonna do?
Keep playing you will lose
Who's it gon' be? (TLC)

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.
