En Vogue Lyrics
"Give It Up, Turn It Loose"

I believe in yesterday.
I believe in yesterday.

DAWN: What's the problem?
You keep coming in and keep coming out and singing flat.
CINDY: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
TERRY: What's up? What's wrong? You're not concentrating.
CINDY: Yes, I am concentrating.
MAXINE: No, you're not.
CINDY: I'm sorry, let's just do it again.
DAWN: No, no, no, uh uh uh uh, what's the problem?
CINDY: There's no problem. Dawn, what's wrong?
DAWN: There's nothing wrong. Terry?
TERRY: Kevin.
DAWN: Please don't tell me it's Kevin.
TERRY: Mmmm, hmmm.
DAWN: Ew, Kevin Swahili! I knew it!
CINDY: Please don't tell me he's got cooties.
TERRY: And he is seeing Tamika right now and everybody else.
DAWN: He is not seeing Raneka.
TERRY: He is.
DAWN: How you know?
MAXINE: Wait a minute, you guys. Wait, wait, wait, you guys.
We should not attack her.
It sounds like it's serious because we can't concentrate and get this right.
So let's deal with the problem.
See, I've been through this myself and...let's talk.
DAWN: And it goes a little something like this, hit it!

Mmmm. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
(Ahhhhhhhhh, ah.) Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, yeah.

Baby girl (Unfair but true.) can love him once but not twice.
Who plays games with no rules? (A fool.)
Tears for fears (are no surprise.)
Happens almost every time.
Love knocks you on your behind.
Loved you hard, loved you long.
Now his love his gone.
Love 'em and leave 'em is the rule of most dogs.
You must be strong, stand up on your own.
Take control of your life.

I've seen it time and time again.
It's not worth it.
(Oooooooooh, ooooh.) Don't be down and miserable.
You and only you can bring yourself around.
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Oh.)

Ooooooh, oooh.
Give it up, turn it loose.
Oh, if he don't want you, you don't need him, girl.
Give it up, turn it loose.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Fact of life, (So sad but true.) love can often hurt you
Leaving scars most of your life.
(Nightmares can haunt you.) Mmmm.
But fairy tales of love can come true.
Both play tricks on your mind.
You'll be fine.
Take this time to find peace of mind.
Sooner or later, bad feelings will die.
You must be strong, don't blame it all on love.
In time good things will come.

I've seen it time and time again.
It's not worth it. No, no.
(Oooooooooooh, oooh.) Don't be down and miserable.
You and only you can bring yourself around.
(Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo. Oh.)

Ooooooh, oooh, oooh.
Give it up, turn it loose.
Oh, if he don't want you, you don't need him, girl. Yeah.
Give it up, turn it loose.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Oh, oh, oh. Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oh, oh, oh.
(Give it up.) Give it up.
Oh. Come on.

(Give up.) Give it up.
(Give up.) Give it up.
(Give it up, turn it loose.) Turn it loose, baby.
(Give up.) Give it up.
(Give up.) Give it up.
(Give it up, turn it loose.) Turn it loose, baby.
(Give up.) Give it, give it, give it, give it.
(Give up.) Give it, give it, give it, give it
(Give it up, turn it loose.) And turn it loose.
(Give up.) Ah, ah, ah, ah.
(Give up.) Turn it loose.
(Give it up, turn it loose.)
