Wooo, wooo
Wooo, wooo

[Verse 1:]
It's Friday night, girl
And I'm here all alone
I can't stop dreaming
Of you at home
I love you so
And I want you to know
It's me for you
Baby, you for me
My heart belongs to you
I keep your picture by my bed every night
They bring me closer
To the feelings I have inside

(Pre-Hook)
I miss you so
Girl, I want you to know
Our love is so strong
I'll be faithful

[Hook]
Girl I'm so faithful (I will love you forever)
And you'll be faithful (Now we're still here together)
Girl, I'll be so faithful (I'll stay by your side)

[Verse 2:]
Out on the road
There's groupies around
Trying to please me
And take me to be their own
But they don't know
That I have someone true
And I'm in love
Baby she's in love
No one else will do
Through all the rainy days and troubled times
Our hearts have conquered
First heartaches and the pain

(Pre-Hook)
I love you so
And I want you to know
Your love's so good
I'll be faithful

[Hook]
Girl I'm so faithful (I will love you forever)
And you'll be faithful (Now we're still here together)
Girl, I'll be so faithful (I'll stay by your side)

By your side

Girl I'm so faithful (I will love you forever)
And you'll be faithful (Now we're still here together)
Girl, I'll be so faithful (I'll stay by your side)

Girl I'm so faithful (I will love you forever)
And you'll be faithful (Now we're still here together)
Girl, I'll be so faithful (I'll stay by your side)

Hi-Five is an R&B group from Waco, Texas, originally consisting of lead singer Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, Roderick Clark, Marcus Sanders, and Toriano Easley, who was later replaced by Treston Irby. They released their self-titled debut album in 1990, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and was certified Platinum. This album featured the #1 R&B/Top 10 Pop hit “I Can’t Wait Another Minute,” and “I Just Can’t Handle It,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart, as well as their biggest hit, the Teddy Riley-produced “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” which hit #1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B Singles chart.

Their follow-up album Keep It Goin' On was released in 1992 and featured the hit songs “She’s Playing Hard To Get,” which peaked at #2 on the R&B Singles chart and #5 on the Pop chart, as well as the R. Kelly-produced single “Quality Time,” which peaked at #3 on the R&B Singles chart. Their third album Faithful was released in 1993 and contained the hit singles “Unconditional Love” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go”, which were also featured on the soundtracks to Menace II Society and Sister Act 2, respectively.

The group disbanded in 1994 and Tony Thompson went on to release his solo album Sexsational in 1995. Thompson re-formed Hi-Five with four new members and released the album The Return independently in 2005 but he was issued a cease-and-desist order by the original members of the group to halt sales of the album. As discussions of putting the original group back together were taking place, Tony Thompson passed away on June 1, 2007 in his hometown of Waco, Texas. Treston Irby and Marcus Sanders have carried on with the Hi-Five name, continuing to make music and tour.
