Boy I heard you've been trying to work up your nerve to talk to me 
 
 We both know without a work we've got this chemistry 
 
 Like a man I don't settle for less than the best 
 
 Ain't afraid because I am willing to pass my test 
 
 So I'm watching you, wanting you, hoping you're willing to do 
 
 What I need you to do, yeah
 
  
  Keep your eyes on the prize keep you mind off alibis 
 
 Keep my heart satisfied,  and I'll make you mine 
 
 Keep your eyes on the prize keep those tears from my eyes 
 
 Keep my love justified or I'll say bye-bye 
  
 
 Gonna say it a guy stops playing 
 
 When he finds the one who's right for him 
 
 But only time will show the things I need to know 
 
 Before I let you in 
 
 Like a man I don't settle for less than the best 
 
 Ain't afraid because I am willing to pass my test 
 
 So I'm watching you, wanting you, 
 
 Hoping you're willing to do what I need you to do, yeah! 
  
 
 Keep your eyes on the prize keep you mind off alibis 
 
 Keep my heart satisfied,  and I'll make you mine 
 
 Keep your eyes on the prize keep those tears from my eyes 
 
 Keep my love justified or I'll say bye-bye 
  
 
 The best things in life are worth waiting for 
 
 If you give me the time I can be sure 
 
 That everything I see can be mine 
 
 And I know what to do in the meantime 
  
 
 Keep your eyes on the prize keep you mind off alibis 
 
 Keep my heart satisfied,  and I'll make you mine 
 
 Keep your eyes on the prize keep those tears from my eyes 
 
 Keep my love justified or I'll say bye-bye
