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



--- Instrumental ---

(What I'm here doing without)



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...
