shock dat monkey lyrics

Yo, this is TLC
Yea, and we're back to school the girlies
And if you know dat yo man is startin' to flip
Shock dat monkey on the TLC tip
Y'all know we ain't down for no monkey business
It ain't even like that
Yo, T Boz, kick it

When you know that it's good and you know that it's hot
All the girlies want a piece of what you've got
When a man is a man and it's all in his face
He's gon' jump all on it 'cause it be's that way

Gotta get up on it, put your heart aside
Ain't about that lovin', it's all about that pride
If you do unto him, what he does all the time
That's the only thing for sure
To keep that nickel in line, you gotta go

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey

If he plays in the field and he's shamin' your name
Got no time for tears, you can get in the game
If a man is a man and he calls you a "Hoe"
Ain't no point in playin', if he doesn't know, yea

Don't let him know if you don't go through it
And if it blows, hey, just don't sweat it
Now you're in control if you just don't screw it
Shock him before he knows you know so

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, yea, hey, yea

Yo, you wanna know somethin', I'm in a situation
Like it or not it's you, your own creation
Lendin' a leg 'cause you ain't too proud to beg
For a quick sensation invitation
And bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am
Lend a hand and dare you to give a damn
'Cause his story can be my story too
Ohh, monkey see monkey do

When you know that it's good and you know that it's hot
All the girlies want a piece of what you've got
When a man is a man and it's all in his face
He's gon' jump all on it 'cause it be's that way, yea

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, yea, hey, yea

Yo it ain't cool and as a matter of fact
Get the monkey up off your back
And when he wanna know where you're at
Get the monkey up off your back
Even if he don't like it like dat
Get the monkey up off your back
You gotta do it to keep 'em intact
Get that monkey up off your back

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, yea, hey, yea

Gotta get up on and put that heart aside
It ain't about that lovin', it's all about that pride
If you do unto him what he does all the time
That's the only thing for sure to keep that nickel in line
Hey

Yo, it ain't cool and as a matter of fact
Get the monkey up off your back
And when he wanna know where you're at
Get the monkey up off your back
Even if he don't like it like dat
Get the monkey up off your back
You gotta do it to keep 'em intact
Get that monkey up off your back

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, yea, hey, yea

Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
Shock dat monkey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Shock dat monkey
Shock 'em good, shock 'em good
