If you got kids back home, I wanna know
If you don`t, I wanna know
If you`re straight or you ain`t, I wanna know
If you`re broke, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
If you wanna be with me, I gotta know
What you doin`, where you goin`, what you havin`
Who you love, who you like, who you`re seein`
Before I let you in
Cuz I learned from my past, oh yes I did
Met a guy that I liked, he was my type
But he lied `bout his wife
And he tried to play me, play me
(Now all alone, was he gone)
Way before he told me `bout that
I can`t believe he did me like that
Something I shoulda known, oh yeah
(But I`ve learned my lesson)
Not again will I be naive
I need to know the secrets y`all keep
Cuz what I don`t know could come back on me
If you got kids back home, I wanna know
If you don`t, I wanna know
If you`re straight or you ain`t, I wanna know
If you`re broke, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know
If you wanna fall in love, gotta be aware
`Bout the life that your lover`s been leadin`
So you know if you`re gonna be schemin`
Or if she gonna dog you out
Cuz I know I`ve had my share, oh yes I did
Did me wrong, stayin` at some woman`s place
I`m scared he was not a closet case
Still was cheatin` but not that way
(Now all alone, was he gone)
Way before he told me `bout that
I can`t believe he did me like that
Something I shoulda known, oh yeah
(But I`ve learned my lesson)
Not again will I be naive
I need to know the secrets y`all keep
Cuz what I don`t know could come back on me
If you got kids back home, I wanna know
If you don`t, I wanna know
If you`re straight or you ain`t, I wanna know
If you`re broke, I wanna know
