[Intro:]
I keep a heart in the shade (yeah)
I keep a heart in the shade (it's bay bay)
I-I-I keep a heart in the sh
I keep a heart in
Heart, heart, in the shade (uh)
Keep a-keep a heart in the shade (see I got some things)
I keep a heart in the shade (it's heavy on my chest)
I-I-I keep a heart in the sh
I keep a heart in the sh (try and stay with me)
I keep a heart in the shade
[Verse 1:]
Now everybody knows what it is,
There's no need to explain it (nah)
But it's weight'n on my heart I try to stop, but it doesnt leave
See I'm addicted and I can't deny it,
Yes I've relized I'm selfish (selfish girl)
But what would you if you could'ntstand to see her leave?
[Break:]
(I've been livin' this life, hittin' these girls I keep on the side)
And if shawty knew, she'll wild on me,
(So I do what I do for MY needs)
Yeah I know (this thing can't be right,
Chasin' these different skirts every night)
But if I told the truth, she'll up and leave
(So I do what I do for my needs)
[Chorus:]
It's because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, I can't let her escape
All because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, so she won't escape
[Verse 2:]
What she don't know won't hurt her, I know
These are the girls I trust, so I go
And gettin' me a fix, on the low
(See how they're poision keeps me comin' back)
See my girl is perfect, and I
Wanna' be that dude that does right
But I'm just too weak, and I just can't seem
LEAVE THAT LIFE BEHIND!
[Break:]
(I've been livin' this life, hittin' these girls I keep on the side)
And if shawty knew, she'll wild on me,
(So I do what I do for MY needs)
Yeah I know (this thing can't be right,
Chasin' these different skirts every night)
But if I told the truth, she'll up and leave
(So I do what I do for my needs)
[Chorus:]
It's because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, I can't let her escape
All because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, so she won't escape
[Verse 3:]
I'm just keepin' it real,
Gotta' keep my heart in the dark, concealed
(She don't deserve it) But I'm not worth it
But what she don't know, it could really hurt us
So, I'm gon' keep doing my dirty
A brother like me, can't hang up that jersey
(And if shawty knew, she'll up and leave)
So I'm a' keep doing me! Yeah!
[Chorus:]
It's because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, I can't let her escape
All because I love her, do my dirt undercover
Keep a heart in a heart in the shade, so she won't escape
[Outro:]
Yeah,
I'm just lettin' ya'll know what it is man,
[laughs]
See, we're all the same, I'm just puttin' it out on the table
It's a shame though
That's life
Uh, uh
I keep a heart in the shade (I keep a heart in the shade)
I keep a heart in the shade (I keep a heart in the shade)
I-I-I keep a heart in the sh
I keep a heart in (yeah, uh yeah)
Keep a-keep a heart in the shade (I keep a heart in the shade)
I keep a heart in the shade (I keep a heart in the shade)
