[Verse 1]
I see the way you look at me
It's not the Hennessy
'Cause you're feeling me
But instead you're acting scared
Don't be afraid of me
Let's not be cowardly

[Chorus]
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
Oh oh oh oh
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
(OW)

[Verse 2]
Is it my girls 'round me?
Or is my job heavy?
Come baby talk to me
Maybe from "Caught Out There"
Don't tell me it's my hair
Come on now let's play fair

[Chorus]
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
Oh oh oh oh
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
(OW) Oh oh oh oh
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
(OW)

[Verse 3]
Instead I get Mr. Crazy
Yeah, he's comin', see
With the guts to say to me
He thinks that him and me
Should go and have babies
(Yeah right)
I wish you'd come and save me

[Bridge]
(OW)
("Easy come, easy go")
(OW)
("Easy come, easy go")
Keep in mind, boy
("Easy come, easy go")
Keep in mind, boy
("Easy come, easy go")
(OW) ("Easy come, easy go")

[Chorus]
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
Oh oh oh oh
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go
(OW)
Keep in mind, boy
It's easy come and easy go

When idiosyncratic R&B singer Kelis hit the scene in 1999 with the siren-bathed “Caught Out There,” many didn’t know what to do with a rainbow-haired songstress repeatedly screaming “I hate you so much right now” as her hook. It made her not only unforgettable, but also helped put hitmaking production duo The Neptunes on the map.

Though her debut album Kaleidoscope was well-received, her label Virgin Records opted to only release the sophomore Wanderland internationally though the single “Young, Fresh N' New” was in rotation on BET & MTV.

Despite record label drama, Kelis kept her public profile up singing the hooks on hit songs like ODB’s “Got Your Money” and Busta Rhymes' “What It Is”.
