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
