Performed by R. Kelly



I was on my way

To getting close to you

Until you flipped the script on me

Another personality

I was just that close

To putting karats in your ring

Until I peeped your card

Now you threw it before you started baby



I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up

I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up, babe



You were almost in

About to take you home with me

Until you opened up my eyes

And showed me your other side

You were inches from the room

Just about to take control

Now that I know it was all an act

I gots to get that bracelet back



I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up

I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up, babe



What made you think you could lie to me?

Baby and get away with it

Come back down to reality

When it comes to love you just don't get it



I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up

I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up, babe



Having never lived like a lap full of g's

When all the time you was just try-na trap me

Closer, and closer, and closer to me

Trying to get rooted like the ground and trees

Now I wanna get tight like the harmonies

All you wanna do is just scheme, scheme, scheme

Riding in my gators sittin' on my things

Drinking and smoking up all my weed



I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up

I was just a touch away

From playing the fool for you

Till you lost my trust

And now I got to back this thing on up, babe
