Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sorry to disturb you, but I had to get this off my chest
I know you've been real busy, don't have time for emotional stress
You see, taking care of home means more than just the rent
It means calling now and then
On occasion stopping in
And sometimes having flowers sent
[Verse 2]
What if I stayed out late and didn't even call
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you'd fall
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should
Tell me, what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot?
Tell, what would you do?
[Verse 3]
Oh I, I think you take for granted that I'm always gonna be here
This is your final notice, soon I'm gonna disappear
I'm not asking for a whole lot, just think of me now and then
If you don't know what I'm saying, I don't know how this love can win
[Verse 4]
If I stayed out late and didn't even call
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you'd fall
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should
Tell me, what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot?
[Verse 5]
Well, you should do unto others
As you would have them do to you
You reap what you sow and that's how it goes
So be careful what you do
Telling you ain't no good gonna come to you
[Verse 6]
If I stayed out late and didn't even call
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you'd fall
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should
Tell me, what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot?
[Verse 7]
If I stayed out late and didn't even call
Wasn't there to pick you up whenever you'd fall
If I didn't smile and compliment you when I should
Tell me what would you do if the shoe was on the other foot?
[Verse 8]
Tell me, tell me, what would you do?
If you had you
Tell me
If you had to do like I do sometimes
