  • Yes
    It's me again
    And I'm back

    Hoo (creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah (creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah (creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, ah
    Yeah (creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah (creep)

    The 22nd of loneliness
    And we've been through so many things
    I love my man with all honesty
    But I know he's cheating on me
    (Creep) 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 'cause I need some affection, oh

    So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down-low
    Said nobody is supposed to know
    So I creep, yeah, 'cause 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' 'cause I still feel the same, yeah, yeah
    (Creep) I keep giving loving 'til the day he pushes me away
    Never go astray
    If he knew the things I did (hoo) he couldn't handle me
    And I choose to keep him protected, oh

    So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down-low
    Said nobody is supposed to know
    So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do
    And no attention goes to show, oh

    So I creep, yeah (I think about us, baby)
    Just keep it on the down-low (all the time)
    Said nobody is supposed to know (but you know that I'm gonna)
    (Need some attention, yeah, yeah, can you dig it?)
    So I creep, yeah (love you forever, baby)
    'Cause he doesn't know what I do (soul and mind)
    And no attention goes to show, oh (and you gotta know)
    (If you don't give it, I'm gonna get mine, yeah, yeah)
    Oh, so I creep

    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah (so I creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah (so I creep)
    Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Baby, oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah
    Yeah

    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah, yeah

    So I creep, yeah (I creep around)
    Just keep it on the down-low (because I need attention)
    Don't mess around with my affection, yeah
    So I creep, yeah (I creep around)
    'Cause he doesn't know what I do (because I need attention)
    Don't mess around with my affection, yeah

    So I creep, yeah (oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah)
    Just keep it on the down-low (yeah)
    (Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah)
    So I creep, yeah (oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah)
    'Cause he doesn't know what I do (yeah)
    (Oh-ah, oh-ah, oh-ah)

    So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down-low (baby, baby)
    Said nobody is supposed to know
    So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do
    And no attention goes to show Writer/s: Dallas Austin, Lisa Lopes, Marcel Hall, Marlon Williams

  • Aj from Newport BeachNot loving the message here. He cheats, so she creeps on the down low, because she'll stay till the day he pushes her away? So she's so disempowered that she has has to stay until she has no alternative? If she caught him she should confront him, not perpetuate further dishonesty.
  • Allox from Qld, AustraliaThe model in the video (with the trumpet)..... Makes me speechless.... F*** he is sexy.
  • Emi from Dallas, TxLeft eye in interviews often said how against cheating she was. She said she was going to wear tape across her mouth in the music video as a protest.
  • Sum Sum from New Delhi, IndiaOn their second album, the multiplatinum trio TLC have given up most of their debut's tomfoolery and have matured into a very modern deep Southern soul, watered and nurtured in hip-hop culture. The album's centerpiece is the magnificent "Waterfalls," a revival meeting of new jack swing, gospel, and Prince (whose "If I Was Your Girlfriend" they turn inside out). Their spare, surprising arrangements rely on the kind of live instrumentation they single-handedly brought back in style. Lyrically, CrazySexyCool concentrates on love at the point when it's grown deeper but also more frustrating--for every great love song there's a great cheating song--and the group's singing and rapping balances sassiness with depth and nuance.
