Traped In The Closet
R. Kelly Lyrics

Seven o'clock in the morning
It's 7 AM and the sun has woken me up.

And the rays from the sun wakes me
I am startled by the sun's rays shining on me.

I'm stretchin' and yawnin'
I stretch my body and take a deep breath.

In a bed that don't belong to me
I realize that I'm in someone else's bed.

And a voice yells, "Good morning, darlin'," from the bathroom
A woman greets me from the bathroom and calls me darling.

Then she comes out and kisses me
She kisses me and I am surprised that it's not my partner.

And to my surprise, she ain't you
I'm shocked that the person I'm with is not my partner.

Now I've got this dumb look on my face
I feel foolish and embarrassed.

Like, what have I done?
I question my actions and feel guilty.

How could I be so stupid to be have laid here til the morning sun?
I regret staying out all night and sleeping with someone else.

Lost the track of time
I didn't realize how much time had passed.

Oh, what was on my mind?
I'm confused about why I made the choices I did.

From the club, went to her home
I went to her house after leaving the club.

Didn't plan to stay that long
I had no intention of staying the whole night.

Here I am, quickly tryin' to put on my clothes
I am rushing to put on my clothes and leave.

Searching for my car keys
I am looking for my car keys so I can go home.

Tryin' to get on up out the door
I am attempting to leave the house.

Then she stretched her hands in front of it
She blocks me from leaving.

Said, "You can't go this way"
She tells me I can't leave through the front door.

Looked at her, like she was crazy
I think she's acting irrational.

Said, "Woman move out my way"
I demand that she move so I can leave.

Said, "I got a wife at home"
I inform her that I am married.

She said, "Please don't go out there"
She begs me not to leave.

"Lady, I've got to get home"
I explain that I need to go back to my wife.

She said, her husband was comin' up the stairs
She tells me her husband is coming upstairs.

"Shh, shh, quiet
She tells me to be quiet.

Hurry up and get in the closet"
She tells me to hide in the closet.

"Don't you make a sound
She warns me not to make any noise.

Or some shit is going down"
She threatens me if I make any noise.

I said, "Why don't I just go out the window?"
I suggest escaping through the window.

"Yes, except for one thing, we on the 5th floor"
She points out that we are on the fifth floor.

"Shit think, shit think, shit quick, put me in the closet"
I panic and decide to hide in the closet.

And now I'm in this darkest closet, tryin' to figure out
I am hiding in the closet and trying to figure out what to do next.

Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass up out this house
I wonder how I'm going to escape from the house.

Then he walks in and yells, "I'm home"
The woman's husband comes home and announces his arrival.

She says, "Honey, I'm in the room"
She tries to placate her husband by letting him know she is in the room.

Walks in there with a smile on his face
The husband enters the room with a happy demeanor.

Sayin', "Honey, I've been missin' you"
He tells his wife he's missed her.

She hops all over him
She is affectionate with her husband.

And says, "I've cooked and ran your bath water?
She has prepared food and drawn a bath for her husband.

I'm tellin' you now, this girl's so good that she deserves an Oscar
I am shocked at how well the woman is able to deceive her husband.

Throws her in the bed
The husband picks up his wife and puts her in the bed.

And start to snatchin' her clothes off
He begins removing her clothing.

I'm in the closet, like man, what the fuck is going on?
I am confused and scared while I hide in the closet.

You're not gonna believe it
The situation becomes even more unbelievable.

But things get deeper as the story goes on
The story becomes more intricate and complicated.

Next thing you know, a call comes through on my cell phone
My phone rings unexpectedly.

I tried my best to quickly put it on vibrate
I attempt to silence my phone as quickly as possible.

But from the way he act, I could tell it was too late
I realize that I won't be able to hide the fact that I am there.

He hopped up and said, "There's a mystery going on
The husband becomes suspicious and curious about what is happening.

And I'm like, "God please, don't let this man open this closet?
I pray that the husband won't discover me in the closet.

He walks in the bathroom
The husband goes into the bathroom.

And looks behind the door
The husband checks behind the door.

She says, "Baby, come back to bed"
The woman tries to distract her husband and get him back into bed.

He says, "Bitch say no more"
The husband dismisses his wife's request.

He pulls back the shower curtain
The husband pulls the shower curtain back to check for me.

While she's biting her nails
The woman is nervous and anxious while the husband searches the room.

Then he walks back to the room
The husband returns to the bedroom.

Right now, I'm sweating like hell
I am extremely nervous and sweating profusely while hiding in the closet.

Checks under the bed
The husband checks under the bed to see if I am hiding there.

Then under the dresser
The husband looks under the dresser for me.

He looks at the closet
The husband examines the closet.

I pull out my Beretta
I draw my gun in preparation to defend myself.

He walks up to the closet
The husband approaches the closet door.

He goes up to the closet
The husband gets closer to the closet.

Now he's at the closet
The husband is at the closet.

Damn he's opening the closet?
The husband opens the closet door and discovers me hiding inside.
