    Doo Wop That Thing Lyrics – Lauryn Hill

    [Intro]
    Yo, remember back on the Bully
    When cats used to harmonize like (Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
    Yo, yo, my men and my women
    Don’t forget about the deen
    Sirat al-Mustaqeem
    Yo, it’s about a thing, uh, yo, yo
    If ya feel real good wave your hands in the air
    And lick two shots in the atmosphere!
    (Put them up, put them up)
    (Put them up, put them up)
    (Put them up, put them up)

    [Verse 1]
    It’s been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
    The one you let hit it and never called you again
    ‘Member when he told you he was ’bout the Benjamins?
    You act like you ain’t hear him then give him a little trim
    To begin, how you think you’re really gon’ pretend
    Like you wasn’t down and you called him again?
    Plus, when you give it up so easy you ain’t even foolin’ him
    If you did it then, then you’d probably fuck again
    Talking out your neck, sayin’ you’re a Christian
    A Muslim, sleeping with the jinn
    Now that was the sin that did Jezebel in
    Who you gon’ tell when the repercussions spin?
    Showing off your ass ’cause you’re thinking it’s a trend
    Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
    You know I only say it ’cause I’m truly genuine
    Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem
    Baby girl, respect is just a minimum
    Niggas fucked up and you still defending ’em
    Now, Lauryn is only human
    Don’t think I haven’t been through the same predicament
    Let it sit inside your head like a million women in Philly, Penn
    It’s silly when girls sell their souls because it’s in
    Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans
    Fake nails done by Koreans
    Come again
    (A win win, come again
    A win win, come again)
    [Hook]
    Guys, you know you’d better watch out
    Some girls, some girls are only about
    That thing, that thing, that thing
    That thing, that thing, that thing

    [Verse 2]
    The second verse is dedicated to the men
    More concerned with his rims and his Timbs than his women
    Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
    Don’t care who they offend, poppin’ yang (like you got yen!)
    Let’s stop pretend, the ones that pack pistols by they waist men
    Cristal by the case men, still in they mother’s basement
    The pretty face men claiming that they did a bid men
    Need to take care of they three or four kids
    And they face a court case when the child support late
    Money taking and heart breaking, now you wonder why women hate men
    The sneaky, silent men
    The punk, domestic violence men
    Quick to shoot the semen, stop acting like boys and be men
    How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?
    How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?
    How you gonna win when you ain’t right within?
    Uh-uh, come again (Yeah)
    Hey, yo-yo, come again
    My French men, come again
    My sister, come again
    [Bridge]
    Watch out, watch out
    Look out, look out
    Watch out, watch out
    Look out, look out
    Watch out, watch out
    Look out, look out
    Watch out, watch out
    Look out, look out

    [Hook]
    Girls, you know you’d better watch out
    Some guys, some guys are only about
    That thing, that thing, that thing
    That thing, that thing, that thing
    Guys, you know you’d better watch out
    ‘Cause girls, some girls are only about
    That thing, that thing, that thing
    That thing, that thing, that thing

    Girls, you know you’d better watch out
    Some guys, some guys are only about
    That thing, that thing, that thing
    That thing, that thing, that thing

    [Skit/Outro]
    Class!
    Hey, we’ve got some very intelligent women here, man
    Do you think you’re too young to really love somebody?
    (No! No, no, I don’t think so)
    I say it for me, uh, I’m an adult I say, wait
    “You’re too young to be in love, this is silly
    You’re infatuated or whatever, you got nice jeans
    You wear fancy Adidas”
    I mean, it might be something I don’t know
    (It’s the difference from loving somebody and being in love with somebody)
    Well, you tell me. What’s the difference?
    (Okay. You can love anybody but when you’re in love with somebody you’re looking at it like this—you’re taking that person for what he or she is no matter what he or she look like or no matter what he or she do)
    (You’re crazy! You fall in love, you can fall out of love)
    (You might stop being in love with them but you are not gonna stop loving that person)
    (Maybe they ain’t never been loved before or been in love before, they don’t know what the feeling is to be loved)
    (She poetic)
    She killed it, we could end that conversation with that, right?
