[Verse 1: Sparkle]
Two years ago, promises is all I heard
Wait a minute, let me finish
Two years ago, promises is all I heard, out of your mouth
And now you wanna walk away, boy
And tear down the walls in this house
You used to tell me sweet things, sweet things in the morning time
Now all you do is hurt me, and think that everything is fine
[Chorus: Sparkle]
You better be careful what you say to me
'Cause it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
'Cause somebody might do it to you
[Verse 2: Sparkle]
Now who was there for you, when your ass was out of work
All by myself, taking little man to church
So quick to hang up the phone when I step, in the room
Then you want to turn it all around
I'm getting tired of playing fool
[Chorus: Sparkle]
You better be careful what you say to me
'Cause it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
'Cause somebody might do it to you
[Refrain: Sparkle & (R. Kelly)]
If the shoe fits, wear it, boy (yaw yaw yaw yaw, yaw yaw yaw yaw)
If the shoe fits, wear it, boy (yaw yaw yaw yaw, yaw yaw yaw yaw)
[Verse 3: R. Kelly]
Two years ago, didn't know you had male friends
Wait a minute, let me finish
Two years ago, didn't know you had male friends, off up in college
I found out you're still reaching out to some of them, Mrs. Busy Body, hmm
You used to listen to me, when you were down and lost, mmm
But now, you don't even respect me, ever since I got laid off
[Chorus: R. Kelly]
You better be careful what you say to me
'Cause it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
'Cause somebody might do it to you
[Verse 4: R. Kelly]
Now who gave you money when your ass was broke, without a dime?
And even though lil' man is not my child, I made him mine, mmm-hmm
So quick to run to your friends and talk about, what we do in this house
And then you wanna party all night long
What the hell you talking 'bout?
[Chorus: R. Kelly]
'You better be careful what you say to me
'Cause it might turn around on you
You better be careful what you do to me
'Cause somebody might do it to you
[Refrain: R. Kelly & (Sparkle)]
If the shoe fits, wear it, girl (yaw yaw yaw yaw, yaw yaw yaw yaw)
