[Intro: Chilli]
Oh-oh
[Verse 1: Chilli & Left Eye]
A scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a busta (Busta)
Always talkin' 'bout what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass, so
[Pre-Chorus: Chilli & Left Eye]
No, I don't want your number (Uh, uh-uh)
No, I don't wanna give you mine and
No, I don't wanna meet you nowhere (No)
No, don't want none of your time and (Uh)
[Chorus: Chilli & T-Boz, Left Eye]
No, I don't want no scrub (Uh)
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me (Woo)
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me (Uh-uh, no love)
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh)
Trying to holla at me
[Verse 2: Chilli & Left Eye]
Well, a scrub checkin' me, but his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
'Cause I'm lookin' like class and he's lookin' like trash
Can't get with a deadbeat ass, so (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Chilli & Left Eye]
No, I don't want your number
No, I don't wanna give you mine and (Said no)
No, I don't wanna meet you nowhere
No, don't want none of your time (Check it)
[Chorus: Chilli & T-Boz, Left Eye]
No, I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me (Uh-huh, come on)
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me (Hah)
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me (Uh-uh, no love)
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me
[Bridge: Chilli & Left Eye]
If you don't have a car and you're walkin'
Oh, yes, son, I'm talkin' to you
If you live at home with your mama
Oh, yes, son, I'm talkin' to you (Baby)
If you have a shorty that you don't show love
Oh, yes, son (Yeah), I'm talkin' to you (Yeah)
Wanna get with me with no money, oh no
I don't want no
No (No scrubs), scrub (No love)
No (No scrubs), scrub (No, no, no love)
No (Uh-uh, uh-uh, scrub), scrub (Uh-uh, uh-uh, no love, no, no, no, no)
No (Uh-uh, uh-uh), scrub (No, no, uh)
[Chorus: Chilli & T-Boz, Left Eye]
No, I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride (Yeah)
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrub (No)
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride (Yeah)
Trying to holla at me
[Verse 3: Left Eye]
See, if you can't spatially expand my horizons (Horizons)
Then that leaves you in a class with scrubs, never risin' (Risin')
I don't find it surprisin' if you don't have the G's
To please me and bounce from here to the coast of overseas
So, let me give you somethin' to think about (Think about)
Inundate your mind with intentions to turn you out (Turn you out)
Can't forget the focus on the picture in front of me (In front of me)
You as clear as DVD on digital TV screens (Digital TV screens)
Satisfy my appetite with somethin' spectacular (Spectacular)
Check your vernacular, and then I'll get back to ya (Then I'll get back to ya)
With diamond-like precision, insatiable is what I envision
Can't detect acquisition from your friend's Expedition
Mister Big Willy
If you really wanna know, ask Chilli
Could I be a silly ho? Not really
T-Boz and all my señoritas are steppin' on your FILAs
But you don't hear me, though
[Chorus: Chilli & T-Boz, Left Eye]
No, I don't want no scrub (No)
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me (Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh)
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride (Uh, yeah)
Trying to holla at me
I don't want no scrub (No scrub)
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me (No love)
Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride
Trying to holla at me

Kandi and Tiny wrote the heck out of that song, and I’m glad they gave it to us instead of keeping it for themselves. When we did the video, we went all out except for Chili – she wanted to look like an island princess! [Laughs.] I was so excited about the part where I wore the all-white outfit wher...
Being on set was really scary, especially the one scene where it was all three of us and it looked like we were in space. This tube thing was constantly moving so you couldn’t stand still or else you would fall. I was getting so frustrated and yelling, “How many more takes?” Lisa was falling and we...
[Xscape girl group member Tameka “Tiny” Cottle] and I got the music from [producer Kevin “She'kspere” Briggs]. I had this notepad that I used to write song titles or concepts in. I used to say it to all my friends all the time: If there was like a dude that was wack, we just called him “that scrub.”...
