Take it as it comes girl
You gotta understand
Take it on the run girl
The world's at your command, Oh
I know it's a difficult thing
When the one you love makes you cry
I know if the phone doesn't ring
It is keeping you waiting every night
So take it as it comes, girl
Don't let him bring you down, yeah
Keep your motor runnin'
You know you own this town, yeah
Sometimes it's easy to worry
When love is in the lost and found
Take it as it comes, girl
Whoa, you'll make it through no doubt
It'll all come around
Yeah, yeah. Oh no. Take it baby
I know it's a difficult thing
When the one you love says goodbye
Seems like the world's always changing
Gotta learn how to take it all in your stride
So take it as it comes, girl
You gotta try again, yeah
Let me be the one, girl
I'll help you over him, yeah
Sometimes it's easy to worry
There's nothing to worry about
Take it as it comes, girl
Yeah, we'll make it through no doubt
It'll all come around
Take my hand. Whoa, yeah
It should all come around
Take it as it comes, girl
You gotta try again, yeah
Let me be the one girl
I'll help you over him

Milli Vanilli was a German pop/R&B group that rose to fame in the late 1980s. After winning a Grammy for Best New Artist, it was revealed that the two “members” of the group, Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan, were frauds. They had not performed any of the music themselves, and had lip-synced all of their performances. Numerous lawsuits were filed after this revelation and their Grammy was revoked, marking the first time a Grammy had ever been rescinded from an artist.

Their debut album, Girl You Know It’s True, went 6x Platinum before being completely deleted from the catalog of Arista Records, making it one of the largest-selling albums ever to be taken out of print.

After the controversy, Milli Vanilli split into two different groups. Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan became Rob & Fab, and released a self-titled album that commercially flopped, selling only around 2,000 copies. The actual studio performers formed The Real Milli Vanilli (also known as Try ‘N’ B to avoid any name recognition), and released an album called The Moment of Truth.
