Ooh...ooh...baby

Ah...

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 occasions stopping in

And sometimes havin' flowers sent

What if I stayed out late

And didn't even call

Wasn't there to pick you up

Whenever you 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

Oh, I, I think you take for granted

That I'm always gonna be here

This is your final notice

Soon I'm gonna be 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

If I stayed out late

And didn't even call

There to pick you up (Wasn't there to pick you up)

Whenever you fall (Whenever you fall)

If I didn't smile (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

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

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

Tellin' you ain't no good gonna come to you

If I stayed out late

And didn't even call (And did not call) {Didn't call you}

There to pick you up (Wasn't there to pick you up )

Whenever you fall (When you fall)

If I didn't smile (If I didn't smile and compliment you when I)

And compliment you when I should (When I should)

What would you do (Tell me what, what, what would you, what would you do)

If the shoe was on the other foot

If I stayed out late (If I stayed out late)

And didn't even call (If I didn't call that would be a “No-no”, baby

There to pick you up (Wasn't there to pick you up)

Whenever you fall (Whenever you'd fall, ooh...if I)

If I didn't smile (Didn't smile)

And compliment you when I should (If I didn't smile)

(Tell me, tell me what) What would you do (What would you)

If the shoe was on the other foot

Tell me, tell me what would you do

{If the shoe was on the other foot}

If you had to, tell me

{If the shoe was on the other foot}

If you have to do like I do sometimes
