This is your conscious speaking
I know it's love your seeking
But are you sure it's right
Letting him shut the light
How can you feel this way
Meeting him yesterday
How can you tell
How can you tell
What If your folks come home
And they find you alone
Boy what would your daddy saw
Won't trust you anymore
Don't let his kiss so sweet
Knock ya right off your feet
How can you tell
How can you tell
If a girl wants a boy
She gotta let him know
Just hold him tight
And treat him right
And never let him go
Be careful
Be careful
Be careful
Well I know he wouldn't lie
Said he always be my guy
Yeah yeah I trust him so
But what's wrong with the light down low
He's always good to me
And he'll treat me tenderly
I can tell
I can tell
I know he wouldn't lie
Said he always be my guy
Yeah yeah I trust him so
And what's wrong with the lights down low
He'll always good to me
And he'll treat me tenderly
I can tell
I can tell
I can tell
