Before we go out

If I was your one and only friend
Would you run to me
If somebody hurt you
Even if that somebody was me

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be
Please, yeah

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.
