You've been staying out late Almost every night While I sit home and wait for you Sometimes until it's daylight You think that I'm a fool That I don't know what it's all about But I think that you're out doing What I'm here doing without Girl, I wanna tell you that you're Late hours are bringing me down You're so tired when you come home at night That you don't even care that I'm around If you'd just love me like you used to You'd make me wanna jump and shout But I think that you're out doing What I'm here doing without I think that you're out doing It's a sad situation when you don't Get no loving at home And if you don't watch your step, girl You're gonna find yourself all alone Still you think that you can get by As long as you can keep me in doubt But, I think that you're out doing What I'm here doing without I don't know how long that I can put up With what you're putting me through Half the time I don't know Where you are or what you are up to And you don't even care when You think that I'm a little put out And I think that you're out doing What I'm here doing without Well, I know that you're out doing What I'm here doing without
