[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Every time you come around
You always put me down
You're always on my case
That's why I act this way
Cuz livin' day to day
Is hard enough to face

[Chilli]
No need to ask me why I feel so down
When your laughin' stops nobody comes around
And that's why I say

[Chorus]
Don't try so hard
You're doing fine
Don't go too far
Don't cross the line
Don't push so hard
Cuz I might break
Just need a chance to get away

[Verse 2]
Everything in life we know
We gotta learn by the chance we take
If we don't give a damn about it
We would never try to make our way
(Chilli)
Just bein true about the way you feel
Cuz when it's right you gotta keep it real
And that's why I say

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge- Chilli]
When you care
Nobody knows
But when you don't
It shows
The way that you live
Defines the truth
But the way that you feel
About your life reflects on you
And that's why I say

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Don't try so hard
(Don't try so hard)
Don't go too far
(Don't go too far)
Don't try so hard
Don't go too far

That's why I say

[Chorus]

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.
