Flashback, who's that dancing to the latest?
Suave DeBone the greatest.
Oooh, he sure is moving me.
That's what I said though you didn't know yet.
Our love is was kismet soon to be made history.

So don't you have no doubt.
I'm gonna spell it out.
I'll hip you to the T, that is.
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast.
And I don't wanna boast, but I love you, Square Biz.

I'm talking square biz to you, baby.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking love, that is.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking square biz to you, baby.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking love that is, that is, that is, that is.

So shy, oh my.
Had to change that real quick.
Had to use a few tricks, you know, like my femme fatale.
Phase two, me, you, dancing on a cloud.
I'm gonna sing it loud, 'cause my love is on the wow.

So don't you have no doubt.
I'm gonna spell it out.
I'll hip you to the T, that is.
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast.
And I don't wanna boast, but I love you, Square Biz.

Square, square biz.
Square biz.
I'm talking love.
Square biz, square biz.
Square, square biz.
Square biz.
I'm talking love.

Phase three, ooh wee, on a love oasis.
Joy upon our faces sent from up above.
Bombs burst, fireworks, big production thing.
I'm talking horns and strings.
Orchestration is my love.

So don't you have no doubt.
I'm gonna spell it out.
I'll hip you to the T, that is.

And I don't wanna boast, but I love you, Square Biz.

Square biz.

Oooh.
Hey baby, what's your name, huh?
Ladies call me Slick Rick, baby.
Well, don't get too slick now.  (Ha, ha.)

I'm talking square biz.  (Talk to me.)
I'm talking square biz.  (Talk to me.)
Talk to me.
I'm talking square biz.  (Talk to me.)
I'm talking square biz to you.
I'm talking square biz.  (Talk to me.)
I'm talking square biz to you.

Baby, what's happening?
Entre vous Lady T.
I heard a boatload of other ladies' raps,
But they ain't got nothing on me.
I'm less than five-foot-one, a hundred pounds of fun.
I like sophisticated funk.
I live on Dom Perignon, caviar, filet mignon
And you can best believe that's bunk.
Here's what I'm talking 'bout,
Square biz.  Huh!
Square biz.

I've been called Casper, Shorty, Little Bit
And some they call me Vanilla Child.
But you know that don't mean my world to me,
'Cause baby, names don't cramp my style.
I love chick-icken and Buff's collard greens,
A little hot water cornbread.
I love you too, cat daddy,
But don't you let that go to your head.
That's what I'm talking 'bout,
Square biz.
Square biz.
Lady T.

You know I like spirituals and rock, Sarah Vaughn, Johann Sebastian Bach,
Shakespeare, Maya Angelou, and Nikki Giovanni just to name a few.
Well, I'm wild and peaceful Lady T.
I've got to keep my irons in the fire, you see.
I got the point, the scam, the low, the deal.
What you feel, say what?

Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)

So don't you have no doubt.
I'm gonna spell it out.
I'll hip you to the T, that is.
I got the best, the most, baby, from coast to coast.
And I don't wanna boast, but I love you, Square Biz.

I'm talking square biz to you, baby.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking love, that is.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking square biz to you, baby.
Square, square biz.
I'm talking love, that is.  Whoo!

I'm gonna talk about it.
I'm gonna talk about my love.  (Flashback)
I'm gonna talk about it.
I'm gonna talk about my love.  (Flashback)
I'm gonna hip you to the T.
The T, the T, the T?
What's the T?
Now you know that's me.

Flashback.
Flashback.
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
Flashback, who's that?  (Flashback)
I'm gonna talk about it.
I'm gonna talk about my love.  (Flashback)
I'm gonna talk about it.
I'm gonna talk about my love.  (Flashback)
I'm gonna hip you to the T.
The T, the T?
What's the T?

Everybody's dancing on the T.
Jack and Jill and Rick and Lady T.
(We're talking square biz.)
Everybody's dancing on the T.
Jack and Jill and Rick and Lady T.
(We're talking square biz.)
Everybody's dancing on the T.
Jack and Jill and Rick and Lady T.
Everybody's dancing on the T.
Jack and Jill and Rick and Lady T.
Everybody's dancing on the T.
Jack and Jill and Rick and Lady T.
