Music Invasion: TLC's "Creep"

Woke up yesterday morning with the urge of hearing this song again, I don't know why until I reburned the CD into my iPod and walking down Broadway in Manhattan listening to this classic.

Three might just be a magical number; trinity, the power of three, love triangles, sharp, at odds, tough as diamonds. I have let myself get completely infatuated with someone again and that person is taken, but as far as I can tell I'm not the one who should be singing this song.

Things like that could never last although I secretly hope this guy and his boyfriend is open to a third, but with my luck I'd probably be the one who'd end up with a bathtub full of blazing sneakers. I remember when CrazySexyCool first came out Chili was saying that a lot of people has mistaken LeftEye to be the crazy one, herself as the Sexy one and T-Boz as the cool one while in fact LeftEye is the cool one, T-Boz is the sexy one and she is actually the crazy one. I can never justify myself as being sexy, so if TLC holds any symbolic value to me I'd probably die in a car crash in Honduras. The remaining two will audition for a new third that never amounts to anything. Meh, I always thought T-Boz should have gone solo anyway.



Creep

Yes it's me again
And I'm back, Ooh!
Oh I, oh I, oh I, baby
Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah
Oh I, oh I, oh I, baby
Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah

The 22nd of loneliness
And we've been through so many things
I love my man with all honesty
But I know he's cheatin' on me
I look him in his eyes
But all he tells me is lies to keep me near
I'll never leave him down
Though I might mess around
It's only coz I need some affection

Chorus:
Oh, so I creep, yeah...
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed to know
So I creep, yeah...
Coz he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show
Oh so I creep

The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk like we used to do
Now it seems pretty strange
But I'm not buggin' coz I still feel the same (yeah yeah)
I'll keep giving loving til the day he pushes me away
Never go astray
If he knew the things I did
He couldn't handle it
And I choose to keep him protected

Chorus x2

I think about us baby all the time
But you know that I'm gonna need some attention
Yeah, yeah, can you dig it?
Love you forever baby soul & mind
And you gotta know if
You don't give it I'ma get mine

Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah (So I creep)
Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah (So I creep)
Oh I, oh I, oh I, baby
Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Chorus:
So I creep, yeah...
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep, yeah...
Coz he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show
Oh so I creep
(I creep around because I need some attention
Don't mess around with my affection) x2

(Oh I, oh I, oh I, yeah) x3

Chorus:
So I creep, yeah...
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed to know
So I creep, yeah...
Coz he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show
Oh so I creep
