Do You Know What You’re Singing? 10 Songs With Surprising Meanings

TLC – “Creep”

I think that this song is pretty self-explanatory, but I think my horror comes in in knowing that I was singing this so loud and proud in middle school!  I had NO idea what “Creep” referred to.  I just wanted to wear the silky pajamas and do the dance!

But the term is now synonymous with cheating and it’s usually used as a verb.

But the lyrics were so repulsive to Left-Eye that she threatened to wear black tape over her mouth as protest.  Instead, she just didn’t sing along to it in the video.

Suspect lyrics:  “I’ll never leave him down/ Though I might mess around / It’s only ’cause I need some affection.”
