Ol' Keeper

Talk intro: i i can't just keep watching you all the time and everything, i mean hey. if you're were mine, maaan...you'd change your ways. wouldn't be all that going out staying all night long, not letting a brotha know where you are when you coming home. things would change, things would surely change.

Verse 1: you been working on the night shift

And ain't no telling who you with

And everytime that the phone rings

You be steady scrambling

Tryna go and do your thing

There's been talk all over the town

People tellin' how you putting it down

Girl when i need you-you're nowhere, nowhere to be found

Hook:

If i was yo keeper

I wouldn't never let em' run off with you

If i was yo keeper

I wouldn't never let him do the things he do

I would be up in yo 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 yo thang

But you need and try to change your ways (change your ways)

Stop this silly masquerade

Settle down before its too late

Before you make me up and blow

And not come around here no more

Repeat hook twice

Now baby, now baby

Beat break

Adlib: go on and change ways-yea, yea

If i was your keeper

Alternate ending hook:

If i was yo keeper

I wouldn't never let you do the things you do

I would be up in yo spot all night

Making sure that you don't leave my sight

Making sure that we be gettin it right

Until the night is through

Adlib: if i was yo keeper (if i was yo keeper)

Repeat alternate hook

Outro:

If i was yo keeper

I'd never let you be alone no no

I would be up in you spot all night

Making sure that you be getting it right

Making sure that you don't leave my sight

Oh no, oh no

Repeat hook until song fades out
