Heard you hang up the phone oh yeah when I walked in the house
Let me ask you something shorty what was that about
Are you nervous? see you nervous, don't be nervous, I know your nervous
See I heard it, oh oh
You ain't fooling no body but yourself
I been knowing about you for a while
I been knowing about your slick style
Word around the way
That every time I go out of town
Your creeping around

[Chorus]
And girl I got to let you know
Its time for me to up and go
I don't think you even really cared
So whats a man to do

See the night we meet, all I could think you were so fine
Had to put that ring on your finger, oh girl
Gave you the finer things in life
Paid any price just to make you happy, was I crazy, oh baby, oh girl
But I got caught up
In your crying games, when you were wrong
I was the one to take the blame
Are you nervous? see you nervous, don't be nervous, I know your nervous
See I'm hurting

[Chorus: x2]
I tried so hard to be the best that I can be
I gave you everything I gave you all my love
And time will tell, if I made the mistake I did
By walking out on you, so whats a man to do

[Chorus: x2]

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.
