Youve been staying out late almost every night
While I sit home and wait for you
Sometimes until its daylight
You think that Im a fool
That I dont know what its all about
But I think that youre out doing
What Im here doing without
Girl, I wanna tell you that youre
Late hours are bringing me down
Youre so tired when you come home at night
That you dont even care that Im around
If youd just love me like you used to
Youd make me wanna jump and shout
But, I think that youre out doing
What Im here doing without
— Instrumental —
What Im here doing without
Its a sad situation when you dont
Get no loving at home
And if you dont watch your step, girl,
Youre 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 youre out doing
What Im here doing without
I dont know how long
That I can put up with what
Youre putting me through
Half the time I dont know
Where you are or what you are up to
And you dont even care when
You think that Im a little put out
And I think that youre out doing
What Im here doing without
Well I know that youre out doing
What Im here doing without…
