Be Careful

Two years ago, promises is all I heard

Wait a minute, let me finish

Two years ago, promises is all I heard

Out of your 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

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

Now who was there for you

When your ass was out of work, ****

All by myself, taking little man to church

So quick to hang up the phone when I step

In the room

Then you want to turn it all around

I'm gettin' tired of playing fool

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

If the shoe fits, wear it, boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If the shoe fits, wear it, boy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

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, uh

You used to listen to me

When you were down and lost, mhm-hmm

But now, you don't even respect me

Ever since I got laid off

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

Now who gave you money when your ass was broke without a doubt, ****

And even though lil' man is not my child, I made him mine, mhm-hmm

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 talking 'bout?

You better be careful what you say to me

'Cause it might turn around on you

You better be careful what you do to me

'Cause somebody might do it to you

If the shoe fits, wear it girl

(Oh yaw-yaw-yaw-yaw, yaw-yaw-yaw-yaw)

If the shoe fits, wear it girl

(Oh yaw-yaw-yaw-yaw, yaw-yaw-yaw-yaw)
