Lyrics
[Intro]
Ah-ow!
Hear me now
[Verse 1]
All you fellows, gather 'round me
And let me give you some good advice
What I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask you now
You better think about it twice
While you're lyin', cheatin' on your woman
There is something you never even thought of, now tell me
[Chorus]
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
Hear me now
Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
[Verse 2]
I've seen so, so many fellows fall in that same old bag
Thinkin' that a woman is made to, to be beat on and treated so bad
Oh, fellows, let me ask you something
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, now tell me
[Chorus]
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
Oh
Who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
[Bridge]
I know there are some women
Guilty of this too
I'm not tryna run your life
The choice is up to you, oh, you
Oh, oh, you, you, and you
[Verse 3]
The reason why I ask this question
I used to be the same old way
When I decided to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late
Oh, yeah, that's when it all happened
Something I never, never dreamed of
[Chorus]
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
While I was out making love
Listen now
[Outro]
Now who's making love to your old lady
While you were out making love?
