Текст песни: Anthony Hamilton. Ol' Keeper.

I, I can't just keep watching you all the time and everything
I mean hey, if you were mine, man, you'd change your ways
Wouldn't be all that going out, staying all night long
Not letting a brother know where you are, when you coming home
Things would change, things would surely change

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 puttin' it down
Girl, when I need you
You're nowhere, nowhere to be found

If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let 'em run off with you
If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let him do the things he do

I would be up in your 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

You're in and out of every fast car
Sometimes no telling where you are
I'm not trying to blow up your thang
But you need and try to change your ways
(Change your ways)

Stop this silly masquerade
Settle down before it's too late
Before you make me up and blow
And not come around here no more

If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let 'em run off with you
If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let him do the things he do

I would be up in your 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

If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let 'em run off with you
If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let him do the things he do

I would be up in your 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, now baby, now baby

Go on and change ways, yeah, yeah

If I was your keeper, if I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let you do the things you do

I would be up in your 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

If I was yo keeper
(If I was yo keeper)
If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let you do the things you do

I would be up in your 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

If I was your keeper
I'd never let you be alone, no, no, no

I'd be up in your spot all night
Making sure that you be getting it right
Making sure you don't leave my sight
Oh no baby
(Oh no baby)

Keeper, I wouldn't never let 'em run off with you
If I was your keeper
I wouldn't never let him do the things he do
