[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
Listen, girl, you want me but he needs you
Yet you're telling me that everything is cool
Trying to convince me, baby, to do as you say
Just go along and see things your way

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ron Isley]
And keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know
We can keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know

[Verse 2: R. Kelly]
Secret lovers is what you wanna be
While making love to him, girl, you're silently calling on me
What is a man to do in a situation like this?
I feel there is something that I, I don't wanna miss

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ron Isley]
And keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know
We can keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know

[Verse 3: R. Kelly]
Beautiful you are but you're his by far
Coming by my way driving his fancy car
Making plans to be in my life forever
Tell me, tell me that we'll always be together

[Chorus: R. Kelly & Ron Isley]
And keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know
We can keep it on the down low
Nobody has to know

[Outro: R. Kelly & Ron Isley]
Listen, babe, I won't whisper a word
How could you go, so low, so low
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Keep it on the down low

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”).
