Sparkle - Be Careful Lyrics

(feat. R. Kelly)

Two years ago, promises is all I heard
Wait a minute, let me finish
Two years ago, promises is all I heard
Out of yo' 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

[1]
You better be careful what you say to me
Cuz it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
Cuz somebody might do it to you

Now who was there for you
When your ass was out of work, nig'
All by myself taking little Aman' to church
So quick to hang up the phone
When I step in the room
Then you wanna turn it all around
I'm gettin' tired of playin' fool

[Repeat 1]

If the shoe fits, wear it boy
(Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
If the shoe fits, wear it boy
(Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)

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
Mmm, you used to listen to me
When you were down and lost
But now you don't even respect me
Ever since I got laid off

[2]
You better be careful what you say to me
Cuz it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
Cuz somebody might do it to you

Now who gave you money when yo' ass was broke
Without a dime, nigga
And even though Aman' is not my child I made her mine
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 talkin' 'bout

[Repeat 2]

If the shoe fits, wear it girl
(Ah ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
If the shoe fits, wear it girl
(Ah, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya)
