If the Tables Turn

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)

What would you do if it was different (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Would you hold me down like I held you down

Listen

Now I work hard (hm-mm)

For us to live here in this brand new house

And I wonder sometimes

Do you appreciate me being around?

Now I been holding it down from the beginning, yea

Ever since you got with me, girl you been winning yea

I buy you fancy clothes, you drive a fancy car

But Lord knows that's not all

I get your nails done, your hair done too

I even throw in extra just to comfort you

And I can't help but wonder if you'd be

Still right here if I lost everything

If the tables turn yeah

Baby would you stay right here (if the tables turn)

Baby would you pay my bills, yeah (if the tables turn, yeah)

And you had to take the lead (if the tables turn)

Baby would you do the same for me?

So, if I said that my money wasn't right, how would you look at me?

If I said I need to borrow something, would you look at me differently?

What if I need some alone time, I just need time to myself

Would we have an understanding?

Or would you accuse me of seeing someone else?

What if I told you I was tired, I told you I wasn't in the mood

Right now I'm just curious

Curious to see what would you do

(If the tables turn)

Baby would you stay right here? (Would you stay right here?) (if the tables turn)

Baby would you pay my bills? (Pay my bills) (if the tables turn, yeah)

And you had to take the lead (take the lead) (if the tables turn)

Baby would you do the same for me? (Would you do the same for me?)

You ain't even gotta ask me 'cause you know I'ma hold it down

I got your front, I got your back bae

Ain't got no reason to be looking around

See, I know I gotta a real good mane

And I appreciate everything you do

You got a grown woman on your side

Never gon' turn my back on you

You can tell me if you want too

But I already know what you need

I'll take the lead with you beside me

Your girl gon' hold down everything

If the tables turn yea (ooh, yeah)

Baby would you stay right here? (I got you baby) (if the tables turn) (hmm)

Baby would you pay my bills? (Hell yeah, I got it) (if the tables turn, yeah)

And you had to take the lead (I'ma step on in) (if the tables turn) (ooh)

Baby would you do the same for me? (Holding ya down 'til the end)

I wanted to know (hold me down, hold me down baby)

I needed to know (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)

Girl I had to know (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)

Would you hold me? (Hold me down, like I held you down)

Oh, yeah
