Why don't you just keep it real,
Let her know just how you feel,
If you love her let her go, her go.
When you met her it was good,
You did everything you could.
If you love her let her go, her go
Ooh

You out there every night
Living your secret life
While you keep her at home
All locked down so she's all alone.
One day your at the crib
Next day you start to trip
I know it gets old,
Why can't you just stay home,
You need to just let her go.

All of this time, you played with her mind
She gave you her love and you threw it away.
Why don't you just keep it real,
Let her know just how you feel,
If you love her let her go, her go (yeah)
When you met her it was good,
You did everything you could.
If you love her let her go, her go
Ooh.

The girl don't need to know,
How you do her wrong.
She don't need to know
That you are here out of control.
She thinks your all in love,
She thinks your so caught up.
Damn it your shame
The way you play these games
You need to just let her go.

All of this time, you played with her mind
She gave you her love and you threw it away.
Why don't you just keep it real, (keep it real)
