Be Careful

[Verse 1: Sparkle]

Two years ago, promises is all I heard

Wait a minute, let me finish

Two years ago, promises is all I heard outta your mouth

And now you wanna walk away, boy

And tear down the walls in this house

You used to tell me sweet things, sweet things in the morning time

Now all you do is hurt me, and think that everything is fine

[Chorus: Sparkle]

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

[Verse 2: Sparkle]

Now who was there for you, when your ass was out of work, nigga

All by myself, taking little man to church

So quick to hang up the phone when I step, in the room

Then you want to turn it all around

I'm getting tired of playing fool

[Chorus: Sparkle]

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

[Refrain: Sparkle & R. Kelly]

If the shoe fits, wear it, boy

(Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi)

If the shoe fits, wear it, boy

(Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi)

[Verse 3: R. Kelly]

Two years ago, didn't know you had male friends

Wait a minute, let me finish

Two years ago, didn't know you had male friends, off up in college

I found out you're still reaching out to some of them, Mrs. Busy Body, hmm

You used to listen to me, when you were down and lost, mmm

But now, you don't even respect me, ever since I got laid off

[Chorus: R. Kelly]

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

[Verse 4: R. Kelly]

Now who gave you money when your ass was broke without a dime, nigga?

And even though little man is not my child, I made him mine, mhm

So quick to run to your friends and talk about, what we do in this house

And then you wanna party all night long

What the hell you talking 'bout?

[Chorus: R. Kelly]

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

[Outro: R. Kelly & Sparkle]

If the shoe fits, wear it, girl (I-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi)

If the shoe fits, wear it, girl (I-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi)
