girl, listen to me
I want to share what I learned with you
Now it may not help,
but it sure won't hurt
And it won't take but a minute or two
Now what I learned,
I didn't learn it in school
But I know what I'm
talking about
You've got to keep
your mouth shut
And your eyes open
And be surprised at what you find out
Hey!
Keep your mouth shut
And your eyes open
You'll be surprised at
what you'll find out
I know you heard the story
I know you heard it time and time again
Now it's hard but it's true
You think it's your enemy
Not out of ten your best friend
Now you can be in love
and don't have to be a fool
I know what I'm talking about
Hey, keep your mouth shut,
and your eyes open,
you'll be surprised at what you'll find now.
Hey, keep your mouth shut,
and your eyes open,
you'll be surprised at what you'll find now.
If you got a good man,
you don't have to tell nobody else
Stop runnin' your mouth
and tellin' your business
Keep things to yourself
I know a lot of you women out there
Have a lot of faith in your means
But there's always a woman
Somewhere watching
Waiting for a chance to move in
Now it's alright to talk
But cool it sometimes
I know what I'm talking about
Keep your mouth shut,
and your eyes open
You 'll be surprised at what
you find now
Keep your mouth shut,
and your eyes open
You'll be surprised at
what you find now
Hey, keep your mouth shut
and your eyes open
Don't be surprised at what you find out
Hey, keep your mouth shut
and your eyes open
Don't be surprised at what you find out
Shut up and listen to me
Shut up and listen to me
Shut up and listen to me
Shut up and listen to me
Shut your mouth!
