Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is cool, my lip gloss be poppin
I'm standin at my locker, and all the boys keep stoppin
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool
All the boys keep jockin, they chase me after school

Mac (Mac) L'Oreal, yep cause I'm worth it
Love the way, I puts it on so perfect
Wipe, the corners of my mouth so I work it
When I walk down the hallway they can't say nothin
Oh! Oh! Oh! My lips so luscious
The way I spice it up with the Mac-Mac brushes
L'Oreal got them wat-ballermelon crushes
That's probably the reason all these boys got crushes

Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is cool, my lip gloss be poppin

Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool
All the boys keep jockin, they chase me after school

When it's, time for lunch, my lips still rock
Lil' Mama melon with da hot pink top
Cherry, vanilla, flavors is a virtue
Dey, lovin! Lip gloss universal
The boys really like it, the girls don't speak
Rollin they eyes, they lip gloss cheap
It ain't my fault, but I could upgrade ya
Show you how to use nice things with nice flavas

Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is cool, my lip gloss be poppin
I'm standin at my locker, and all the boys keep stoppin
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool
All the boys keep jockin, they chase me after school

Cuz my lip gloss
Is poppin! (Is poppin)
Is poppin! (Is poppin)
Cuz my lip gloss
Is poppin! (Is poppin)
Is poppin! (Is poppin)

Sittin in eighth period, thought I was in trouble
Dean called me on the loudspeaker on the double
I stepped in her office like "yes Ms. Mcclarkson?"
She like, "Gurl, I ran out of my lip gloss and
Write down where you get yours from
Cuz I must admit, that bubblegum
Is poppin! (Is poppin)
Is poppin!" She ain't frontin
N-uh, I be lovin it, I be I be lovin it n-uh
I be usin it, I be I be usin it n-uh
I be rubbin it, I be I be rubbin it
On my lips, my lips (ah) my lip gloss

Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is cool, my lip gloss be poppin
I'm standin at my locker, and all the boys keep stoppin
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know 'bout me?
Whatchu know 'bout me? Whatchu, whatchu know?
They say my lip gloss is poppin, my lip gloss is cool
All the boys keep jockin, they chase me after school
