[Verse 1]
Yeah woah yeah mm mm woah
Sometimes we get where we understate
We [?] bound in a [?] mmm
So tell me what it is you’re holding back
Won’t call it out of channel
Lust fixed up and sets the mood
For all the reason why
It double checks its attitude
And before it says goodbye
Love ain’t gonna try to hurt me

[Chorus]
Say you’ll be honest
Say you will always love me too
Say it still matters
All that I want and need
Say that we better together
You’ll be around for whatever
Say that you love me you stand[?]
Sayin’ you’re leavin’
Say that we both need each other
Forever we got recovered
Say that you love me you stand [?]
Sayin’ you’re leavin’
Sometimes [?] scream out loud
Wooh

[Verse 2]
We should not envy the thing we [?]
Yes we do
So one [?] you listening too

Oh love forgives its [?]

And with the sleepless night
Ooh oh

To prove it’s on our side yeah yeah
You ain’t never [?]

[Chorus]
Say you’ll be honest (Said you’d be honest)
Say you will always love me too (love me too)
Say it still matters
All that I want and need is you
I’m tough I can’t deny
Can’t speak up you’ll not be quiet
I’ll shut up and you will hear no word from me
I’d promise that please
Say you’ll be honest (Said you’d be honest)
Say you will always love me too (love me too)
Say it still matters (matters)
All that I want and need

[Outro]
Say that we’d better together
You’ll be around for whatever
Say that you love me [?]
Sayin’ you’re leavin’ (oh oh)
[?] ohh
Say that [?]

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
