[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Dear lie, you suck
You said you could fix anything
Instead I'm fucked
You made things even worse for me
If I had balls
I'd tell you "get away from me"
Guess I'm not smart
I let you unnerve me
I let you control me
Afraid that the truth would hurt me
When it's you that hurts me more

[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Verse 2]
Dear lie, you're dumb
You think you've got the best of me
You think you've won
Misread my vulnerability
I've got, your balls (I've got, your balls)
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned ,your heart (I've learned, your heart)
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no, no more

[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Bridge]
I've got your balls
Now get the hell away from me
I've learned your heart
Won't let you unnerve me
Won't let you control me
The truth will only free me
And your lies won't hurt no, no more

[Chorus]
Get outta my mouth
Get outta my hair
Get outta my mind
Stop puttin' words in my head
Get outta my mouth
You're nothing but trouble
Get outta my life
Get out of me
Out of me, out of me, out of me, lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie

[Outro]
Dear lie
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Dear lie

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.
