Turn Tables
TLC · Other Songs - TLC
I used to walk around like
Nothing could happen to me
Life is a gamble so I
Should live life more carefully
But all I know is that I
Control my own destiny
I used to look at others
Instead of me blaming me
Bridge:
DonÂ’t ask yourself why
Just look to the sky
Believe that soon youÂ’ll see the other side
Chorus:
I know
That through all the struggle
ThereÂ’s a bright road
At the end of the tunnel
Now you should know
Whatever your dilemma may be
YouÂ’ll learn
Life is worth it
Watch the tables turn
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whenever you feel troubled
With problems coming your way
DonÂ’t ever get discouraged
ThereÂ’s always a better day
We all donÂ’t know the answers
Believe and trust when I say
That havin' faith is always
The way to make things okay
Bridge
Chorus
ThatÂ’s right
Alright
YouÂ’ve had your ups and downs but
It happened for a reason
Cause after April showers
There will come a change of season
So please donÂ’t give up now cuz
The sun's shinin' through the clouds
ItÂ’s gonna be alright
I know
Chorus

Turn Tables
TLC's "Turn Tables" stands as a defining track from their 1994 debut album, *CrazySexyCool*, showcasing the group's signature blend of R&B, hip-hop, and funk. The song features the iconic "Turn tables, turn tables" hook, which became an anthem for female empowerment and a staple of 90s pop culture. Produced by the duo The Lox, the recording captures the group's dynamic interplay between Chilli's melodic vocals, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' rapid-fire rap delivery, and T-Boz's steady bass-driven rhythm. As a cornerstone of their early discography, the track exemplifies the collaborative spirit that defined TLC's career and influenced a generation of artists across the Southern hip-hop and R&B scenes.
