Creep Lyrics
Yes it's me again
And I'm back
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
The 22nd of loneliness and we've
Been through so many thangs
I love my man with all honesty
But I know he's cheatin' on me
I look him in his eyes but all he
Tells me is lies to keep me near
I'll never leave him down though
I might mess around it's only
'Cause I need some affection oh
[Chorus]
So I creep yeah
Just keep it on the down low
Said nobody is supposed 2 know
So I creep yeah
'Cause he doesn't know
What I do and no attention
Goes to show oh so I creep
The 23rd of loneliness
And we don't talk
Like we used 2 do
Now it seems pretty
Strange but I'm not
Buggin' 'cause I still feel
The same yeah yeah
I'll keep giving loving
Till the day he pushes me away
Never go astray
If he knew the
Things I did he couldn't
Handle it
And I choose 2 keep him
Protected oh
[Chorus]
I think about us baby all the time
But you know that I'm gonna need some attention
Yeah, yeah can you dig it
Love you forever baby soul & mind
And you gotta know if
You don't give it I'ma
Get mine
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Oh I oh I oh I baby
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus]
I creep around because I need attention
Don't mess around with my affection
Oh I oh I oh I yeah
[Chorus]
Meaning of Creep
“Creep” by TLC is a raw and vulnerable exploration of a woman trapped in a cycle of infidelity and desperate need for affection. The lyrics paint a picture of profound loneliness – “22nd of loneliness” – as she witnesses her man’s deceit while desperately clinging to him, justifying her own inappropriate behavior with the plea for attention. She acknowledges the lies but continues to offer love, driven by a deep-seated desire to be cherished and protected, even if it means engaging in secretive actions ("creep") to feel valued. The repetition of “Oh I oh I” underscores her emotional turmoil and yearning. Ultimately, the song reveals a woman consumed by need, willing to compromise her own integrity for the illusion of love and security, highlighting the painful paradox of seeking connection through deceitful means and demanding attention while simultaneously shielding her partner from the truth.
