Talk Intro: I I can't just keep watching you all the time and everything, I mean hey. If you 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 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 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
