[Intro: Vic-E]
Welcome

TLC would like to thank you for your support (Fanmail)
And just like you (Just like you)
They get lonely too (I get lonely too)

[Chorus (Left Eye)]
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)

Just like you, I get lonely too
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you, I get lonely

[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Waited for you for so long
Too many days since January
I'm still sittin' Miss alone
We shoulda did this already
Said I got an email today
Kinda thought that you forgot about me
So I wanna hit you back to say
Just like you, I get lonely

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli with T-Boz]
Baby, I could really get to know you
Take my time to show you
Don't tell anybody what we do
When I get lonely
Take me to another place where I'll be
Into space, just you and me with no rules
Just like you, I get lonely too

[Chorus: Vic-E TLC (Left Eye/Chilli)]
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)

Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail, ooh)
Just like you, I get lonely (T-L-C)

[Verse 2: T-Boz with Chilli]
Ready for us to get it on (A-ain't)
Ain't got a love to call steady
Hope it ain't like that for long (I-I'll)
I'll be your friend if you let me
Don't want to come on strong
'Cause too many people wanna get me
But a girl will do what I gotta do
Just like you, I get lonely

[Pre-Chorus: Chilli with T-Boz (Chilli)]
Baby, I could really get to know you (Know you)
Take my time to show you (Show you, ooh-ooh)
Don't tell anybody what we do
When I get lonely
Take me to another place where I'll be (I'll be)
Into space, just you and me with no rules (You and me)
(With no rules!)
Just like you, I get lonely too

[Chorus: Vic-E TLC (Left Eye/Chilli)]
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Baby, cause just like you, I get lonely too (T-L-C)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail Yeah, yeah)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail Oh-oh-oh)
Just like you Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Oh, just like you, I get lonely too!
Just like you

[Break: Left Eye (TLC)]
Man we had all kinda sorts of conflicting fanmails and letters
Some parents was like (Fanmail)
"You're the thieves and the pimps and the thugs of stage
And you owe every mother in America (Just like you)
A public apology" (I get lonely too)

[Bridge: T-Boz & Chilli]
Every day I think I'm gonna meet ya
Can't wait 'till the day I see ya
Know that you just might be the one for me (I get lonely too)
Every day I think I'm gonna meet ya
Can't wait till the day I see ya
Know that you just might be the one I need
Just like you

[Outro: Left Eye]
Be me, do what I believe in
And be myself and I suggest (T)
Everyone do the same thing, (L)
You do what makes you feel comfortable
Do what makes you feel and happy (C)

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.
