[Intro: T-Boz, Chilli, Left Eye]

Hahahaha, what up?

Sup T-Boz?

Yeah, what's up Chilli?

What up, Left Eye?

Yo, where's Left Eye? Did she leave? "I left" Hahaha


[Verse 1: T-Boz]

Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am

Nobody can make me do what I don't want to, uh

I can be myself a lot and I'm proud of what I got

So I'll never change for you

Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am

Tight jeans don't hit the scene with one like me

I got to be feeling free

And you better believe I'll do what pleases me

Yo, Left Eye, kick the scene


[Verse 2: Left Eye]

Every day, last week and not a place to go

This nut still had me dressin' like a fashion show

But not this week I'm chillin' 'cause it's nothin' to hide

Threw on my baggy dips and waited for my ride

He pulled up (Knock-knock) 'til I opened the door

Peeped my gear and started dissin' me from head to toe

But yo, just to let ya know, it's takin' ta

Make me wanna say gotta go, gotta go


[Chorus: TLC]

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl I am

That's the kinda girl I am

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl that I am (Aww yeah)

(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)


[Verse 3: T-Boz]

Bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am

Some people just don't understand the things I do

(You feelin' it "D", you feelin' it?)

Chillin' with the girls or kick it with the fellas if I choose

And bein' that I am the kinda girl that I am

Dumb rules are left for fools with no attitude (Hahaha)

I think my way is cool

So let me be me, continue bein' real smooth

Yo, Left Eye, what's up wit' that guy?


[Verse 4: Left Eye]

So yo, get it back to this dude wit' the foul attitude

Shoot, he made another bad move sayin' that

Girls shouldn't wear baseball caps, he can go take a hike

'Cause it's the style that I like, yeah, it's a trip

'Cause somethin' hasn't yet been said

I never talked about them damn finger waves in his head

Tight pants and two rings in each ear

You know that is dead, but it's me instead


[Chorus: TLC]

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low (Pants down real low)

That's the kinda girl I am

That's the kinda girl I am

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl that I am (Aww yeah)

(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)


[Bridge: Chilli]

(Here we go again)

That's the kinda girl I am

Don't cha know I really don't give a damn

Let me be me for me and not what I'm supposed to be

So I'm gonna do what I wanna do

'Cause dumb rules are left for silly fools

That's the kinda girl that I am, oh

(Here we go, here we go, here we go again)


[Break: T-Boz & (Left Eye)]

Some people might wonder why we're like that

(Cause we're smooth)

Smooth as... ah

Why not?

[Bridge 2: Left Eye, T-Boz]

Relatively speakin' I am no ordinary dip

'Cause I ain't reachin' hipped

Til you be thinkin' I'm flipped

And that is ooooh on the TLC tip

One, two three, four, y'all

Here we go again


[Chorus: TLC]

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl I am

That's the kinda girl I am

Hat to da back (Baby)

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl that I am (I am)

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl I am

That's the kinda girl I am

Hat to da back

I gotta kick my pants down real low

That's the kinda girl that I am

[Outro: T-Boz, Chilli, Left Eye]

TLC, that's it, that's us

Yo, T, you know that's right 'cause she a boss

T-Boz, she a boss

Yo, Left Eye, why's your name, Left Eye?

'Cause Eye left motha fucka, haha
