[Chorus]
How you gonna keep it after you get it?
How you gonna keep it after you get it, oh honey?

[Verse 1]
Your sweet talking sure sounds so good
And your kisses satisfy
And when you hold me in your arms
I get weak feel I won't deny
I'm not here for one-night friends
You've got to have enough love to put us all over the hill
I wanna know

[Chorus]
How you gonna keep it after you get it? Oh, just tell me honey
How you gonna keep it after you get it? Oh, yes, listen to me

[Verse 2]
I bet you play games sometimes
When it comes to this heart of mine
I don't mess and fuss
If you just ain't got the right stuff
So I lay it on the line
And it's something you best [?]
Don't light the fire
If you got no wood to keep it burning
[Chorus]
I wanna know
(How you gonna keep it)
I gotta know how
(How you gonna keep it)
I want you to think (Think)
Stop and say to yourself (Think)
Think about it, baby (Think)
Don't let your mind rule your heart (Think)
It's got you laying on your faith
Oh have you really got all it takes?
Tell me how
I wanna know how
If I let you be careful of my sheep
Would you be an [?], holy grace
Oh, how, how you gonna keep it?
Just tell me how, how, how you gonna keep it?
