Cheryl Elizabeth "Coko" Clemons (born June 13, 1970) is an American gospel and R&B singer, and lead singer of R&B group Sisters With Voices (SWV).
Clemons began her recording career as a choir member in Hezekiah Walker's Love Fellowship Tabernacle Choir.
From 1990 to 1998, Coko sang with the platinum recording group, Sisters With Voices (SWV). Altogether the group issued 6 albums. After their 1998 Christmas album SWV disbanded. Two compilation albums were released after the disbanding; Greatest Hits (1999) and the Best of SWV (2001). Though many stories circulated as to why SWV disbanded, it was Coko herself who made the final decision. In an interview, she said it was not a mutual decision and that many people tried to convince her to stay. She states that her reason for leaving was that the group was not communicating well and that she felt she would do better with a solo career.
After SWV disbanded, Coko went on to release her first solo album under RCA, titled Hot Coko, released August 1999. The first single, "Sunshine," which was dedicated to her son Jazz, reached the Top 40 position in the R&B charts that summer. However, both the album and singles did not gather the same mainstream success as Coko once did with SWV. Meanwhile, Coko was working on a second solo album titled Music Doll in early 2001, but RCA closed the black music division and the project was shelved. Since then, she has concentrated more on her family, and eventually married gospel producer and drummer for Israel and New Breed, Mike "Big Mike" Clemmons, the father of her second son, Jaylon. She currently resides in Virginia Beach, Virginia.[citation needed]

Oh, ooh, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Word is that I was tripping
You're looking so fly, dripping
Those loafers I bought you last week
You know the one's, green, suede Gucci
Got off of work early one day
Went to the mall to get a shirt to match your suede
But when I pulled into the driveway
You was hearing her shout
And looking my way babe
1 - Why you keep trying to come home
When you know you got another girl that you want
And you keep blowing up my cellular phone
Trying to come home, home
Caught you on my caller i.d.
Remember so you can chase after me
Why you keep blowing my cellular phone
You're tyring to come home, home
You must have thought just maybe
Trying to be lying doing Eddie Murphy
But I saw you minute, and I saw her one minute
You was lip locked one minute, could it be?
And I guess it wasn't you who spent the time with me
And I guess it wasn't you who had them set of keys
And it damn sure wasn't you
Who was trying to get up on me, seven days a week
Believe me it's not easy
Repeat 1
You can tell me what you want
Just pack your things and gitty up
Don't make me call the fuzz and make complaints
I'll make you wish you would shrink
You can tell me what you want
Just pack your things and gitty up
You can go back to your ways
And leave me here, you'll get replaced
