Keeping Me

(album: Moments Spent Loving You - 2019)

[Billy Mercury:]
Daddy-Os and good ol' gals
Gather 'round and let me tell you a tale
This is your host with the most
Billy, oh-he-got-soul, Mercury
You listening to radio's best
WXOR 94 Star Power
Grooving with Xavier Omär's soulful new jam "Keeping Me"

[Xavier Omär:]
I be doing so much wrong
I need you to help me change my heart
Focus on you, fix my mind
You're there every time (You're there every time)
You're there when I'd rather you not be
'Cause I'm tryna hide
On my days that are rocky, how do I survive?

Because you (Because you) stay true (Stay true, ahh)
To your word and your love and I'm grateful
'Cause even when I

I think I'm good I'm not, but you come through
And you keep on keeping me down
I rise, I fall, but through it all you're there
And you keep on keeping me down

Keep on, on (Yes, you do, my Lord)
Keeping me

Riding 'round and I keep me a bad thang
Good thing she taking my last name
You've been looking out and kept me from my past ways
From my past days, a new pathway, oh (Ooh)
Hold me close 'cause I need it
(Giving you the best that I've got)
It's time you see it (From me)
All that you want

Because you (Because you) stay true (Stay true, ahh)
To your word and your love and I'm grateful
'Cause even when I

I think I'm good I'm not, but you come through
And you keep on keeping me down
I rise, I fall, but through it all you're there
And you keep on keeping me down

Keep on, on (Yes, you do, my Lord)
Keeping me (Keeping me)

[Billy Mercury:]
Now, to all my listeners
Just tuning in to WXOR 94 Star Power
You heard it here first
The extraordinary, extremely talented Xavier Omär's smash hit, "Keeping Me"
You know who's on the ones and twos
That brotha Sango, always bringing that biscuit groove, man
Aw yeah, man, this send me back to Studio 54
Minus the other stuff
But I'ma tell ya, man
You probably asking yourself, "Keeping me from what?"
Well, let me tell you, here it is
Hurt, harm, danger, temptation
And I ain't talking David Ruffin, unless you're up to something
And the Merc-man is never fronting
So Daddy-Os and good ol' gals
Gather 'round and let me tell you to tell somebody
