Poison vs Word Up Lyrics

Intro: Bell and Cameo
Ohohommm Ohohommm Ohohommm
*scratches*
Oh!
(Poison!) (Ohohommm)
Ohohommm
That girl is...
(Poison!) (Ohohommm)
Ohohommm

Verse 1: Bell Biv Devoe and Cameo
Girl, I, must (warn you)
I sense something strange (Oh!) in my mind
Situation is (serious)
Let's cure it cause we're running (Oh!) out of time
It's oh, so (beautiful)
Relationships they seem from the start
*scratch* Start, Start, Start
(deadly)
When love is not together from the heart

Pre-Chorus: Bell and Cameo
It's drivin' me out of my mind!
That's why it's hard for me to find
Can't get it out of my head!
Miss her, kiss her, love her
(Wrong move you're dead!)
That girl is... (word up!)
Chorus: Bell Biv Devoe and Cameo
(Poison)
Everybody say when you hear their call
You've got to get it underwa-word up

(Poison)
Word up! It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be hear-

Move It!

Break Section: Cameo and Bell Biv Devoe

Verse 2: Bell Biv Devoe and Cameo
[If I were you I'd take pre-]
(-caution)
Before I start (Oh!) to meet a fly (Oh!) girl
*scratch* Girl, Girl
(portions)
You'll think she's the best (Oh!) thing in the world
*scratch* World, World
(fly)
She'll drive you right out of your mind
*reverse scratch* i-i-i-i-mind-mind
(Oh!)
Beware she's schemin', she'll make you (Oh!) think you're dreamin' (Oh!)
You'll fall in love-in love-love
Verse 3: Ronnie Devoe and Cameo
(Hoo) Poison, deadly, movin' in slow
Lookin for a mellow fellow like DeVoe
Gettin paid, laid, so better lay low
Schemin on house, money, and the whole show
The low pro ho she'll be cut like an aaa-FRO
See what you're sayin', huh, she's a winner to you
But I know she's a loser (How do you know?)
(Word-Word-Word Up!)

Chorus: Bell Biv Devoe and Cameo
(Poison)
Everybody say when you hear their call
You've got to get it underwa-word up

(Poison)
Word up! It's the code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be hear-word up

(Poison)
Everybo-body say when you hear their call
You've got to get it underwa-word up

(Poison)
Word up! It's the co-code word
No matter where you say it
You'll know that you'll be heard

Ohohommm Ohohommm Ohohommm
That girl is...
