  • You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
    Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
    Break my lease so I can move
    'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
    I wanna put your number on the call block
    Have AOL make my email stop
    'Cause you a bug a boo
    You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
    And don't you see it ain't cool?

    It's not hot
    That you be callin' me, stressin' me
    Pagin' my beeper, you're just non-stop
    And it's not hot
    That you be leavin' me messages
    Every ten minutes and then you stop by
    When I first met you, you were cool
    But it was game you had me fooled
    'Cause twenty minutes after I gave you my number
    You already had my mailbox full

    So what, you bought a pair of shoes?
    What? Now I guess you think I owe you (owe you)
    You don't have to call as much as you do
    I'd give 'em back to be through with you
    And so what, my momma liked you? (Liked you)
    What? Now I guess you think I will too (will do too)
    Even if the Pope said he liked you too
    I don't really care 'cause you're a bug a boo

    You make me wanna throw my pager out the window (hey)
    Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
    Break my lease so I can move
    'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (a bug a boo)
    I wanna put your number on the call block
    Have AOL make my email stop (ayy)
    'Cause you a bug a boo
    You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
    And don't you see it ain't cool?

    It's not hot
    That when I'm blockin' your phone number
    You call me from over your best friend's house
    And it's not hot
    That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
    Without you trackin' me down
    You need to chill out with that mess
    'Cause you can't keep havin' me stressed
    'Cause every time my phone rings it seems to be you
    And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

    So what, you bought a pair of shoes?
    What? Now I guess you think I owe you (owe you)
    You don't have to call as much as you do
    I'd give 'em back to be through with you
    And so what (so what?), My momma liked you?
    What? Now I guess you think I will too
    Even if the Pope said he liked you too
    I don't really care 'cause you're a bug a boo

    You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
    Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
    Break my lease so I can move
    'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (bug a boo)
    I wanna put your number on the call block
    Have AOL make my email stop
    'Cause you a bug a boo
    You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
    And don't you see it ain't cool?

    When you call me on the phone you're buggin' me
    When you follow me around you're buggin' me
    Everything you do be buggin' me
    You buggin' me, you buggin' me
    When you show up at my door you buggin' me
    When you open up your mouth you buggin' me
    Every time I see your face you're buggin' me
    You're buggin' me, you're buggin' me

    You make me wanna throw my pager out the window (throw out my pager)
    Tell MCI to cut the phone poles (turn my phone off)
    Break my lease so I can move
    'Cause you a bug a boo (a bug a boo), a bug a boo (a bug a boo)
    I wanna put your number on the call block
    Have AOL make my email stop
    'Cause you a bug a boo
    You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
    And don't you see it ain't cool?

    You make me wanna throw my pager out the window (realize I don't want you)
    Tell MCI to cut the phone poles
    Break my lease so I can move (stressin' me out doin' what you do)
    'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo (oh yeah)
    I wanna put your number on the call block (regret the day that I met you)
    Have AOL make my email stop
    'Cause you a bug a boo
    You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me
    And don't you see it ain't cool? (Oh whoa, ooh whoa)

  • Lawanna from Los Angeles, California"Every"... Female no matter her age has dealt with a bug-a-boo!!...Unfortunately. Everything Destiny's Child sung is true! Bug-a-boo!
  • Annabelle from Eugene, OrThis song reminds me of Calvin, a guy that claimed he was my boyfriend, but when we were together, he would always bug me! He would cuss at me, and he would say things to me that were extremely hurtful! Worst of all, he would follow me wherever I went! Then he'd call me on the phone once every hour! He's definitely a bug-a-boo!
  • Danielle from Richmond, KyThis song is old but will always be remebered~!
