Bug A Boo Lyrics

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
Cause you a Bug A Boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me!
And don't you see it ain't cool

It's not hot that you be callin' me
Stressin' me pagin' my beeper
You're just non-stop
And it's not hot
That you be leavin' me messages
Every 10 minutes and then you stop by
When I first met you, you were cool
But it was game you had me fooled
'Cause 20 minutes after I gave you my number
You already had my mailbox full

(So what you bought a pair of shoes)
(What now I guess you think I owe you)
(You don't have to call as much as you do)
(I'd give em back to be through with you)
(And so what my momma likes you)
(What now I guess you think I will too)
(Even if the pope he said he liked you too)
I don't really care cause you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me!
And don't you see it ain't cool

It's not hot
That when I'm blockin' your phone number
You call me from over your best friends house
And it's not hot
That I can't even go out with my girlfriends
Without you trackin' me down
You need to chill out with that mess
'Cause you can't keep havin' me stressed
'Cause every time my phone rings it seems to be you
And I'm prayin' that it is someone else

(So what you bought a pair of shoes)
(What now I guess you think I owe you)
(You don't have to call as much as you do)
(I'd give em back to be through with you)
(And so what my momma likes you)
(What now I guess you think I will too)
(Even if the pope he said he liked you too)
I don't give a damn 'cause you're a bug a boo

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me!
And don't you see it ain't cool

When you call me on the phone you're buggin' me
When you follow me around you're buggin' me
Everything you do be buggin' me
You buggin' me, you buggin' me
When you show up at my door you buggin' me
When you open up your mouth you buggin' me
Every time i see your face you're buggin' me
You're buggin' me, you're buggin' me

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me!
And don't you see it ain't cool

You make me wanna throw my pager out the window
Tell MCI to cut the phone calls
Break my lease so I can move
'Cause you a bug a boo, a bug a boo
I wanna put your number on the call block
Have AOL make my email stop
'Cause you a bug a boo
You buggin' what? You buggin' who? You buggin' me!
And don't you see it ain't cool

Thou shall not give in to temptation

Bug A Boo Song Chart

A Bug-A-Boo is a pest, someone who won't leave you alone. It can be about a man or a woman.

This was written by Kandi Burruss, who also wrote "Bills, Bills, Bills" for Destiny's Child and "No Scrubs" for TLC. She was a member of the group Xscape.

When this was released, it popularized yet another term for an undesirable man. Between Destiny's Child and TLC, the terms "Scrub," "Buster," and "Bug A Boo" all came to describe these unfortunate guys.

Kelly Rowland admitted in a 2008 interview with Pop Justice that she thinks this is the worst Destiny's Child song. She admitted: "It annoys me so much now, some of the stuff in that song makes me feel like I'm 17 years old, especially the line 'So what? You bought a pair of shoes' - it's such a bad line to have to sing in concert. 'You bought a pair of shoes'? What terrible lyrics. At the time we were so into it but now - what on earth were we thinking?"
