Do you get suspicious?

Watch for the glances?

Don't put your love life in the streets



Do you get suspicious?

Watch for the glances?

You better take it from me



Friends, who needs 'em?

One can't live with 'em, can't live without

Men, can't keep 'em

Not when your good friend is trying to bring you down

Down, down, down



Do you get suspicious when they call you their girlfriend

And you don't know them very well?

Watch for the glances on the side to your boyfriend

Just read the signs, I'm sure you can tell



See somebody standing in your own backyard

Somebody's trying to steal your man

Don't be a fool and let them get that far

You better stop them while you can

Hold on to your man



Hold, hold

Hold on to him

(Hold on)

Hold, hold



Trends, they feed 'em

They all jump on it, on whatever's hot

But girlfriends be careful

Because your man might be just what they ain't got, no



You should be cautious if you've found you a good man

Don't put your love life in the streets

There is a shortage of good love from a good man

So watch your back, you better take it from me



See somebody standing in your own backyard

Somebody's trying to steal your man

(They'll try and steal your man)

Don't be a fool and let them get that far (no fool)

You better stop them while you can

(Stop them while you can)



Hold, hold

Hold on to him

(Hold on)

Hold, hold

You better take it from me

Don't be no fool

Oh, no



Yo, you better watch out, she's out to take your guy

And I can see why, he's fly even I

Had my eye on him for a long time

Yo Pep, (What?) kick that rhyme



Don't be dumb, all the girlies want some

He's paid, he's not a bum

Know where I'm coming from?

Understand she has a plan

And that's right, she'll take your man



So you better hold on tight

She'll take your man, and you know that I'm right

She'll take your man, girls be on your best guard

She'll take your man, right from your own backyard



Oh, if you see somebody standing in your own backyard

They're out to get your man, girl don't you let them in

Don't you be a fool and let them get that far

So stop them while you can, they've got a master plan



See somebody standing in your own backyard

Somebody's trying to steal your man

You better take it from me

Don't be a fool and let them get that far



(Don't be no fool)

You better stop them while you can



'Cause when you snooze, you lose

That's when they make their move

So stop them while you can

It's just a matter of time

And girl that ain't no lie

They're out to take your man

Hold on to your man



Hold on, hold on, hold on to your man

Hold on, hold on, take it from me

Hold on, hold on, hold on, can't you see?

Hold on, hold on, can't you see?



Do you get suspicious?

Watch for the glances?

Don't put your love life in the streets



Do you get suspicious?

Watch for the glances?

You better take it from me



Oh, if you see somebody standing in your own backyard

They're out to get your man, girl don't you let them in

Don't you be a fool and let them get that far

So stop them while you can, they've got a master plan



See somebody standing in your own backyard

Somebody's trying to steal your man

You better take it from me

Don't be a fool and let them get that far

(Don't be no fool)

You better stop them while you can



'cause when you snooze, you lose

That's when they make their move

So stop them while you can

It's just a matter of time

And girl that ain't no lie

They're out to take your man

Hold on to your man



Hold on, hold on, hold on to your man

Hold on, hold on, take it from me

Hold on, hold on, hold on, can't you see?

Hold on, hold on, can't you see?
