Don't put your love life in the streets
You better take it from me
One can't live with 'em, can't live without
Not when your good friend is trying to bring you 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
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)
You better take it from me
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
