So So Dumb
TLC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh
Oh yeah
Alright (alright)
Alright alright

Dumb dumb dumb
So so dumb so dumb
Dumb dumb dumb
So so dumb so dumb

Every time I see ya
Simple bitch pleads
Come here and talk to me
want to tell ya (huh)
Tell ya what's been on my mind
The wife's a friend of mine
Why do you need some
Georgia Pine in your life
Do you love everything
About the woman you with
Why you tryin' to get with T
I thought that you had
Responsibility
See your wife is beautiful (huh)
The kid is two years old (hey)
She folds all your clothes
Whatcha runnin' around for

[Chorus]
I can't think that you're so
Dumb dumb dumb
She thinks you're so faithful
So so dumb so dumb
And she's such a pretty girl
Dumb dumb dumb
How could you be so damn
So so dumb so dumb

I can't believe
You're knockin'
You're knockin' at my door
I should get my gun
And gun you to the floor
But instead
I think I'll invite you in
I'ma call your wife boy
And let her know where you've been

'cause she thinks that
You're so faithful
Boy you're so dumb (dumb)
Ain't goin' down like that no more
Guess who's knockin' at the front door
Ain't nobody you want to see come in
You should appreciate your girl
Stop tryin' to push it on me

[Chorus]

And one day love will leave your side
And no other will hear your cry
But you had to live your own life
Now nobody likes you
Not even you

Why you gotta be so
Dumb dumb dumb
You've never been faithful
So so dumb so dumb
And you can have those other girls
Dumb dumb dumb
'cause I'm no longer in your world
So so dumb so dumb

[Chorus]

So stay away from me (huh)
You better play her somewhere else
You need to look at yourself (huh)
You need to find some help

So so dumb so dumb (dumb dumb)
Dumb dumb dumb (dumb dumb)
(Da dumb dumb dumb)




So so dumb so dumb
Dumb dumb

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "So So Dumb" by TLC is a hard-hitting song that reveals the dark side of infidelity. The song is addressed to a man who is married but still tries to hit on other women, specifically the singer of the song. The lyrics start with the chorus, where the singer says the man is dumb for cheating on his wife, and she thinks the wife is a beautiful woman who deserves better.


The lyrics then go on to describe how the man is a stereotype of cheating men who tell the women they are with that they love them but are still trying to hook up with other women. The singer then says that she cannot believe the man is knocking at her door and wants to let the wife know about the man's deeds. The final verse is about the singer saying that love will leave the man alone one day, and he will be alone and lonely.


Overall, the song is a powerful message about how infidelity is not acceptable and how people who do it are dumb and lose everything in the end.
