Chorus:

Man...T-Boz tried to talk to me 

You don't have to believe me

It may have been a big mistake

And if it was my heart will break

I'm serious...T-Boz tried to talk to me



So have you ever heard of a group called TLC 

With hits like "Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg" and "Baby-Baby-Baby" 

New Years Day of 1992 I was chilling 

With The Leaders Of The New 

At the Fox Theater venue 

Atlanta, Georgia where the girls don't ignore ya 

Geronimo had two girls... and said this one's for ya 

The two were close related... in fact sister kindred 

And I was scheming on a way to get her into bed 

1992 when I was rhyming for fun

Had the thickest new style...but no demo done 

I wasn't feeling down about my past situation 

I had only seen TLC on Video Vibrations 

Yes this was just before they blew up 

While I was gaming on the girl I had a chance to look up 

TLC walked in with my man Yusef 

Left Eye is the name because she played me to the left 

The girl I was with was silly...

But I was trying to get on T-Boz any motherfucking way 

But what was I to say...

Hey shit I was a nobody 

And nobody had ever heard of Count Bass-D 

Or TLC, but my despair turned into glee 

When T-Boz pushed up and introduce herself to me 

My heart went mushy...I know you don't believe me

But T-Boz of TLC tried to talk to me



Chorus



Chorus



Yeah I saw you on TV last week 

Hello, T-Boz my name is Count Bass D 

I was thinking last week while I was watching your video clip 

That when I got rich I'd have to kiss your lips 

That's how I wanted to step...but I had my doubts 

About her finding out about my lack of clout 

I guess she saw me with 

The Leaders and assumed I had a record deal 

But I was mesmerized with her sex appeal 

Rumors ran free that she loved Jodeci 

Who gives a fuck about K-Ci 

He's just as skinny as me 

Don't get me wrong...in singing songs nobody's better 

But I get around like 2Pac and chain letters 

But this time I slippped though...got played like a wimp though 

The Pharcyde said it fly she kept passing me by 

Not even Merrill Stubing could have played more friendly 

Huh...T-Boz tried to talk to me yo



Chorus



Chorus



Last time y'all 

Females only step to niggas once in a while 

And you should react if she seems worthwhile 

T-Boz was a goddess 

I'm honest I wouldn't lie to ya 

But I procrastinated like a paper overdue

I know you're saying he's just a crumb 

He couldn't get none 

But T-Boz was a female who was full of sincerity 

I know it sounds hard to believe 

And I could give a fuck if you believe me but 

T-Boz tried to talk to me
