  • Put your hands up in the sky and wave, and wave (come on, y'all)
    Put your hands up in the sky and wave, and wave
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and two step (two step)
    Come on and-
    Keri, talk

    I'm startin' to think I need space
    Now every time I go out, you all in my face
    Soon as I hit the door, why you gotta be actin' so insecure?
    Where I been? Who I was with?
    Boy, you stressin' me out with this (watch this)

    Relationship is supposed to revolve around trust, right, right?
    But let's take it back a few months, like, like
    What about the other chick that you was kickin' it with?
    Man, I'm gettin' sick of it
    Damn it, it's a shame, a sin
    You 'bout to get a dose of your medicine
    You couldn't even handle me
    If the shoe was on the other foot now

    So what you gon' do when I don't give you that last chance?
    And how you gon' act when you see me in the back with a new man?
    And what's it gon' be when you gon' see me and him holdin' hands?
    I bet you'd give a damn then

    You could keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else
    Better keep it real with yourself, before you end up by yourself
    You could keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else
    Better keep it real with yourself, before you end up by yourself
    How does it feel?

    Now you threatin' to leave me, so what?
    Ordinarily, I would be biting my tongue
    But, nah, you couldn't picture me gone
    Thought I'd be sittin' at home while you was doing me wrong
    You know it's messin with my head, thoughts of her up in my bed
    And if I did what you did to me? How would it be?
    If the shoe was on the other foot now?

    I could wild out, take the knuckle route, but I got class
    So what you gon' do when I pimp out I've got a new romance?
    Then what you have, turns into what you had
    I bet you'd give a damn then

    You could keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else
    Better keep it real with yourself, before you end up by yourself
    You could keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else
    Better keep it real with yourself, before you end up by yourself

    Baby (how does it feel?)
    Do you know what I gone through?
    Sittin' up waiting for you? (How does it feel?)
    Ooh (how does it feel?)
    If that was you, you'd be gone
    Baby, you're sleepin' on me (how does it feel?)

    You could keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else
    Better keep it real with yourself, before you end up by yourself (ooh)
    You could keep on feelin' yourself (yeah), I'ma be with somebody else (oh)
    Better keep it real with yourself (keep it real with yourself)
    Before you end up by yourself
    (You're left to find out how it feels)

    Ooh, how does it feel?
    Ooh, how does it feel?
    Ooh, how does it feel?
    Ooh, how does it feel? Writer/s: Floyd Hills, James Washington, Keri Hilson, Timothy Mosley
