TLC

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigde Staten

Deze uit de Verenigde Staten afkomstige r&b-, soul- en hiphopgroep werd opgericht in 1991.

De afkorting TLC staat voor de afkorting voor de beginletters van Tionne, Lisa en Crystal, de voornamen van de originele bezetting. De samenwerking met Crystal verliep echter helaas niet zo goed en Rozonda Thomas werd de vervangster van Crystal. Haar naam moest alleen nog wel met een C beginnen en er werd gekozen voor de bijnaam Chilli. De andere twee dames kregen de bijnamen T-Boz en Left Eye.

Met de single Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Beg zetten de dames zich op de kaart. Het grote succes kwam met de albums CrazySexyCool en Fan Mail. Hits als Waterfalls en Unpretty zijn afkomstig van deze albums.

Tijdens de opnames van hun derde album verongelukte de 30-jarige Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in een auto-ongeluk in Honduras. De overgebleven leden besloten om het derde album af te maken. De nummers die ze samen met Lisa hadden ingezongen, bleven ongewijzigd en de rest werd ingezongen door Tionne en Rozonda. Het laatste gedeelte van Lisa’s rap op Waterfalls staat gegraveerd in haar grafsteen.

In de zomer van 2017 wordt hun vijfde en laatste album verwacht.

Songtekst

I know I'm kinda strange, to you sometimes
Don't always say, what's on my mind
You know that I've been hurt, by some guy
But I don't wanna mess up this time

[BRIDGE]
And I really really really care
And I really really really want you
And I think I'm kinda scared
Cos I don't want to lose you
If you really really really care
Then maybe you can hang through
I hope you understand
It's nothing to you

[CHORUS]

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

I might look through your stuff, for what I don't wanna find
Or I might just set you up, to see if you're all mine
I'm a little paranoid, from what I've been through
Don't know what you got yourself into

And I really really really care (And I care about you so much)
And I really really really want you (I really do want you)
And I think I'm kinda scared (But I'm scared with every touch)
Cos I don't want to lose you (Cos I don't want to lose you)
If you really really really care (If you care for me like you say)
Then maybe you can hang through (Then maybe you can hang through)
I hope you understand (I hope you understand)
It's nothing to you (It's nothing to you, you)

My heart's at a low (low)
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that (I think you should know)
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love (I'm falling in love)
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged (I think you should know that)

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage (I'm so much to manage)
I think you should know that (I think you should know that)
I've been damaged (I've been damaged)
I'm falling in love (I love you so)
There's one disadvantage (I love you so)
I think you should know that I've been damaged

And I really really really want you
And I think I'm kinda scared
Cos I don't want to lose you
If you really really really care
Then maybe you can hang through
I hope you understand
It's nothing to you (It's nothing to you)

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that (Ooh I think you should know I've been damaged)
I've been damaged (I've been damaged baby)
I'm falling in love (Falling in love with you baby, yeah)
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged

My heart's at a low
I'm so much to manage
I think you should know that
I've been damaged
I'm falling in love
There's one disadvantage
I think you should know that I've been damaged
