3LW (initialism of "3 Little Women") was an American hip hop soul and R&B girl group that enjoyed a number of modest hits during the early 2000s. Its founding members were Naturi Naughton, Adrienne Bailon, and Kiely Williams. Jessica Benson later replaced Naughton after she left the group in 2002. 3LW was signed to the label Epic Records, and later moved to So So Def.
In 1999, the original line up of 3LW formed. Their first single, "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)", was released in the fall of 2000. "No More" was a chart success, and was followed by "Playas Gon' Play" in early 2001. The group's self-titled debut album, 3LW was released on December 5, 2000. The album went on to be certified platinum by the RIAA, selling 1.3 million copies in the US. In the summer of 2001, the group embarked on the MTV Total Request Live tour along with Destiny's Child, Dream, Nelly, Eve, and Jessica Simpson.
In 2001, 3LW recorded a song with various artists including Michael Jackson, Usher, Beyoncé, Luther Vandross, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey in response to the 9/11 attacks called "What More Can I Give". In late 2001 they collaborated with Lil' Romeo and Nick Cannon for "Parents Just Don't Understand" on the Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius soundtrack.
Oooh
Oooh
Yeah
It's been almost a year since we first met
and that's the day that I'll never forget
Got me all caught up in your web
but a new
cause your the type of guy that girls like to sweat
just so they can see how far they'll get
maybe take a ride up in your 6
not ever in that picture could I fit
[Chorus:]
Ghetto love and heartbreak
is always a mistake
trust your heart to someone
when you think your in love, cause you thinkg your in love
they gon' do their own thing
ghetto thoughts they can't change
so don't give your heart away
cause you're gonna get hurt, when you think you're in love
As the days went on I knew
I knew that you were more then sexy more than cute
had a little look inside your eyes
that no girl could ever say no to
much personality
a living game for every girl you see
know just what to say and how to please
but there's no room there for me
[Chorus]
I tried so hard to believe that you only wanted me
but that was just my fantasy
and you let me down
playin around like you were feeling me
but you were busy doing your thing
[Chorus x2]
think your in love
then tell me now
whats really up
if you think I'm the one
I need to know
Don't let me down
[Chorus til end]
