Ol' Keeper

[Intro] I, I can't just keep watching you all the time and everything I mean, hey If you're were mine, man, you'd change your ways Wouldn't be all that going out, staying all night long Not letting a brother know where you are, when you coming home Things would change, things would surely change [Verse 1] You've been working on the night shift And ain't no telling who you with And every time that the phone rings You be steady scrambling tryna go and do your thing There's been talk all over the town People telling how you're putting it down Girl, when I need you, you're nowhere, nowhere to be found [Chorus] If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him run off with you If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him do the things he do I would be up in your spot all night Making sure that you don't leave my sight Making sure that we be getting it right Until the night is through [Verse 2] You're in and out of every fast car Sometimes no telling where you are I'm not trying to blow up your thang But you need and try to change your ways (Change your ways) Stop this silly masquerade Settle down before it's too late Before you make me up and blow Better not come around here no more [Chorus] If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him run off with you If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let you do the things you do I would be up in your spot all night Making sure that you don't leave my sight Making sure that we be getting it right Until the night is through If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him run off with you If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him do the things he do I would be up in your spot all night Making sure that you don't leave my sight Making sure that we be getting it right Until the night is through (Now baby, now baby) [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Go on and change ways, yeah, yeah, yeah If I was your keeper [Chorus] If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let you do the things you do I would be up in your spot all night Making sure that you don't leave my sight Making sure that we be getting it right Until the night is through If I was your keeper (If I was your keeper) If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let you do the things you do I would be up in your spot all night Making sure that you don't leave my sight Making sure that we be getting it right Until the night is through [Outro] If I was your keeper I'd never let you be alone. no, no, no I'd be up in your spot all night Making sure that you be getting it right Making sure you won't leave my sight Oh no, baby (Oh no, baby) If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him run off with you If I was your keeper I wouldn't never let him do the things he do
