Things That Make You Go Hmmmm.... - C+C Music Factory

Today is August 13th, 2022. The song of the day is "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm...." by C+C Music Factory.

 

Looks like this is another verbose song that has more characters than the comment section will allow, so the lyrics will be here instead:

I was at the crib
Sittin' by the fireplace
Drinkin' cocoa on the bear skin rug
The door bell rang - who could it be?
Thought to myself then started to shrug
Got to the door, ding dong, who is it?
My girl's best friend had payed me a visit
Sly as can be, tight dress and all
She knew that I was faithful
I really didn't have the gall
I tried to chilll - she made the move
Now I know my girlfriend wouldn't approve
I didn't realise my girl was settin' me up
Yo, my girl didn't trust me - no!
Yeah, but she lost control I wouldn't take the bait
I said chill baby, baby, chill baby, baby wait
My girl bustin' in caught us creating a boom
She said: "girlfriend"?

Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm

Here's how it started - just an example
Of how another brother can trample
Ruin your life
Sleep with your wife
Watch your behind
There was a friend of mine named Jay
Would come over late at night and say hey
I watched the fight
I thought he was alright
'Cause me and Jay were really, really tight
So damned close we had the same blood type
Months went by and my wife got big
We were havin' a child and I got another gig
So I let Jay move into the crib and chill
He had his own room and helped pay the bills
The time had come for the baby to come on the scene
It looked like Jay and I couldn't believe
Before my eyes in the delivery room

Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
The things that make you go hmm
Robbie rob - break it down!
Give it to me, give it to me give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

Seventeen and I was havin' a ball
Eleventh grade and yo I knew it all
I fell in love for the very first time
With this girl she really blew my mind
Inner sense and whole lotta class
Style that could give you whiplash
We said hello and my heart beat stopped
She was the world and I was on top
Time went by, she filled my universe
We made love, she said I was the first
My boy kept tellin' me yo, I don't know
I think your girl's been playing tic tac toe
I'll ask my girl I know she only loves me
Wasn't I the one who took your virginity?
The look on her face read sorrow and gloom
She said "yeah, why do you guys always ask that?"

Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm

Hey ladies
Have you ever had a man
Go away for business, come back with a tan?
Comes home late at night from work
You cooked him dinner now you feel like a jerk
Sayin' he didn't have time to eat
And he's not even hungry, he wants to retreat
To the bedroom he said his head hurts
You're only makin' love in radical spurts
Mysterious calls and the phone goes click
You say to yourself: "I'm gonna hit him with a brick"
Ain't no way he could be cheatin' on me
I wonder who bought him those DVD's
Dressed to a T to hang with the fellas
Over at the guys and I'm getting jealous
Comin' home late smellin' like perfume (fume)

Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm
Things that make you go hmm, hmm, hmm
Things that make you go hmm
It's the things that make you go hmm

I was originally going to pick another cover, and have this be cover week.

Ultimately, I just let the wheel spin and this is what it landed on. Today is August 9th, 2022. The song of the day is "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince.
