Trapped In The Closet
R. Kelly Lyrics

Seven o'clock in the morning
It is early in the morning.

And the rays from the sun wakes me
The sunlight is waking me up.

I'm stretchin' and yawnin'
I am stretching and yawning.

In a bed that don't belong to me
I am in a bed that does not belong to me.

And a voice yells, "Good morning, darlin", from the bathroom
Someone greets me from the bathroom.

Then she comes out and kisses me
The woman comes out of the bathroom and kisses me.

And to my surprise, she ain't you
I am surprised that the woman is not my significant other.

Now I've got this dumb look on my face
I am confused and shocked.

Like, what have I done?
I am questioning my actions.

How could I be so stupid to be have laid here 'til the morning sun?
I regret my decision to stay until the morning.

Must of lost the track of time
I lost track of time.

Oh, what was on my mind?
I am unsure of what I was thinking.

From the club, went to her home
I went to her home from the club.

Didn't plan to stay that long
I did not plan on staying the whole night.

Here I am, quickly tryin' to put on my clothes
I am trying to put my clothes on quickly.

Searching for my car keys
I am searching for my car keys.

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

Then she streched her hands in front of it
She blocks the door with her hands.

Said, "You can't go this way"
She tells me I cannot leave that way.

Looked at her, like she was crazy
I give her a look of disbelief.

Said, "Woman move out my way"
I tell her to move out of my way.

Said, "I got a wife at home"
I tell her I have a wife at home.

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

"Lady, I've got to get home"
I tell her I have to go home.

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 get in the closet.

She said, "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 noise.

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

"Yes, except for one thing, we on the 5th floor"
She tells me it is not possible to leave through the window on the 5th 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 in a dark closet trying to think of a way out.

Just how I'm gonna get my crazy ass up out this house
I am trying to figure out how to escape the house.

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

She says, "Honey, I'm in the room"
She tells him where she is.

He walks in there with a smile on his face
He is happy to see her.

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

She hops all over him
She jumps on him excitedly.

And says, "I've cooked and ran your bath water"
She tells him she has done things for him.

I'm tellin' you now, this girl's so good that she deserves an Oscar
I am impressed with how good she is at hiding the truth.

Throws her in the bed
He throws her on the bed.

And start to snatchin' her clothes off
He starts to undress her.

I'm in the closet, like man, what the fuck is going on?
I am confused and shocked as to what is happening outside the closet.

You're not gonna believe it
Things are about to get even more unbelievable.

But things get deeper as the story goes on
The situation becomes even more complex as time goes on.

Next thing you know, a call comes through on my cell phone
I receive a call on my phone.

I tried my best to quickly put it on vibrate
I attempt to put my phone on silent.

But from the way he act, I could tell it was too late
I can tell from his behavior that it is too late to silence my phone.

He hopped up and said, "There's a mystery going on
He becomes suspicious and thinks something is going on.

And I'm like, "God please, don't let this man open this closet"
I pray that he doesn't open the closet and find me.

He walks in the bathroom
He enters the bathroom.

And looks behind the door
He checks behind the door.

She says, "Baby, come back to bed"
She tries to distract him and get him to come back to bed.

He says, "Bitch, say no more"
He tells her he does not want to hear it.

He pulls back the shower curtain
He checks behind the shower curtain.

While she's biting her nails
She is nervous and biting her nails.

Then he walks back to the room
He leaves the bathroom and heads to the room.

Right now, I'm sweating like hell
I am extremely nervous and sweating profusely.

Checks under the bed
He looks under the bed.

Then under the dresser
He looks under the dresser.

He looks at the closet
He examines the closet.

I pull out my Beretta
I take out my gun.

He walks up to the closet
He approaches the closet.

Get close up to the closet
He gets very close to the closet.

Now he's at the closet
He is standing in front of the closet.

Now he's opening the closet...
He is about to open the closet and find me.
