I was on my way
To getting close to you
Until you flipped the script on me
Another personality
I was just that close
To putting karats in your ring
Until I peeped your card
Now you threw it before you started, baby

I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up
I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe

You were almost in
About to take you home with me
Until you opened up my eyes
And showed me your other side
You were inches from the room
Just about to take control
Now that I know it was all an act
I got to get that bracelet back

I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up
I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe

What made you think you could lie to me
Baby, and get away with it?
Come back down to reality
When it comes to love, you just don't get it

I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up
I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe

Having never lived like a lap full of g's
When all the time you was just try-na trap me
Closer, and closer, and closer to me
Trying to get rooted like the ground and trees
Now I wanna get tight like the harmonies
All you wanna do is just scheme, scheme, scheme
Riding in my gators, sittin' on my things
Drinking and smoking up all my weed

I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up
I was just a touch away
From playing the fool for you
'Til you lost my trust
And now I got to back this thing on up, babe

R. Kelly

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
