Turn It Out Lyrics
Another town
Another place
A little Maybeline
To spread on my face, well
This underwear
A jubinaire
Make up my eyes
And I'll tease out my hair, yeah
Shine up my pumps
And I'll put on some hose
Dress up my clothes
Yeah, I'll need two of those, hmmm
It makes me feel
So mighty real
Run in my stockings
Hey, it ain't no big deal
(Chorus)
Turn it out
You've to turn it out
Turn it out
You've got to work it out
Turn it out
You've to turn it out
Turn it out
You've got to work it out
Dress up my nails
And I'll take a detail
Put on my lips
Maybe take out my hips, well
I'm looking lovely, baby
Catch my affect
Give me attention
Give me lots of respect, yeah
Shine up the runway
While I powder my nose
Turn on the spotlight
Gonna strike up a pose, well
A dramp affair
Nor derrier
I'll give you attitude
And nothing compares
(Chorus)
Why don't ya
Why don't ya
(Mama's gonna perculate)
(You've got to move to stimulate ya)
Why don't ya
Yeah
Lookin' like a luminary
Extra ordinary
Sing it!
Tight'n up the runway
While I powder my nose
Turn on the spotlight
Gonna strike up a pose
It makes me feel
So mighty real
I'll turn you out
When I turn on my heel, yeah
(Chorus)
Show 'em what you know, baby
Do it now
Do it hard
Do it dirty
You've got
You turn it out
(We'll give you flatter, baby)
(Without a doubt)
Whew
Hey
(We're gonna show you)
(Just what fashions about)
Hey!
Why don't you?
(Mama's gonna perculate)
(You've got to move to stimulate ya)
Yeah
Walk, talk, stop, stop, real, real, sex appeal
Why don't you?
(My girls are gonna educate ya)
(Got to go so see ya later)
(Lookin' like a luminary)
(Extra-ordinary)
SING IT
Spoken:
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Listen up, Poo Poo. I'm tellin' you children, I'm looking too fierce. My hair's nappy. My gown is drenched, honey. My pumps are broken. My lashes are falling off my face. My nails are cracking 'cause I was frying some chicken and lost my nails in the chicken pot. My mascera is drippin' all down my face. I'm tired, honey. But let me tell you somethin': Ms. Thang will carry on 'cause I'm a true diva. So don't you even go there with me. Just stay where you are and turn it out!
