Kenneth Edmonds - Backyard lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Verse 1] 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 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 (Hold, hold) Don't be no fool (Hold, hold) Oh, no [Rap: Salt 'N Pepa] 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 (Hold on, hold on) So you better hold on tight 'cause she'll take your man And you know that I'm right, she'll take your man Girls be on your best guard 'cause she'll take your man Right from your own backyard [Chorus] 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 [Outro] '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 [Chorus] 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 to your man
