TLC - His Story lyrics

Yo, this is a story of a
Male female threat to society
You know being misjudged and not
Respected for what we are
But I want to send this special shout
Out to my girl Tawana Brawley
'Cause no matter what we say or what we do
They'll always believe his story (Oww)

His story (yeahee, yeahee, yeahee)
His story (Oww) they're gonna believe
His story his story

Why does it have to be that we
Get labeled for what we do
It's hard enough for us to
Be ourselves without being used
Girls have an image too
But when they get mad at you
There is no telling what they'll
Say to hurt you

This is a story of a
Male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me?
(yeahee, yeahee, oooh)

His story over mine his story
Will be his story
And my story is a waste of time
(A-a-a-h-aah-aah) they're gonna believe

His story (yeahee, yeahee, yeahee)
His story (Oww) they're gonna believe
His story his story

Sometimes I feel like there is no
Reason for me to explain
No matter how much we complain
You know it all stays the same
They try to call us freaks
Why does it have to be
We can't get justified until we speak up
(Oooh)

This is a story of a
Male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me?
(yeah, yeah, oooh)

His story over mine his story
Will be his story
And my story is a waste of time
(A-a-a-h-aah-aah)
(You know it's just a waste of my time)
They're gonna believe his story over mine
So what you gonna do?
Don't let it take over you, hey
My story is a waste of time
It's hard enough for us to
Be ourselves without being used
(This-this-this-this-this-this-this-the-this-this)

So yo take it from me
Don't be a victim of society
You can't put yourself in a
Position to be neglected and disrespected
You have to do what's not expected
Or we'll all be his story

His story over mine
His story will be his story
(This is a story of) how could
You do this to us they're gonna believe
His story over mine
His story will be his story and
My story is a waste of time
They're gonna believe his story over mine
His story will be his story
And my story is a waste of time
You're gonna believe

This is a story of a
Male female threat to society
Why you wanna go and tell a lie on me?
(yeah, yeah) this is a story
(Peace, love and hair and grease
From TLC) of a male female threat to society
Why you wanna go tell a lie on me?
(yeahee, yeahee, ho)
