Sorry to disturb you,
|
But I have to get this off my chest,
|
I know you gotta get money,
|
I don't got time for emotional stress,
|
Taking care of home,
|
Means more than just rent,
|
It means calling now and then on occasions stopping in,
|
And sometimes having flowers sent,
|
What if I stayed out late and didn't even call,
|
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you fill,
|
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
|
Baby what would you do,
|
If the shoe was on the other foot,
|
I think you take for granted that I'm always gonna be here,
|
This is your final notice soon I'm gonna be out of here,
|
Now I'm not asking for a whole lot just think of me now and then,
|
Years from now I don't want you saying how this love could have been,
|
What if I stayed out late and didn't call,
|
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you fall,
|
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
|
Baby what would you do,
|
If the shoe was on the other foot,
|
You should do unto others as you would have them do to you,
|
You reap what you sow that's how it goes,
|
So be careful what you do,
|
Ain't no good gonna come to you,
|
What if I stayed out late and didn't even call,
|
Wasn't there to pcik you up whenever you fall,
|
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should,
|
Baby what would you do,
|
If the shoe was on the other foot.
