What'cha Gonna Do

While you're running around bawling

Or playing at clubs every night

You ought to be home with the one who loves you

You know the gal who treats you right



Tell me, boys

I want you to tell me

Yes, yes, yes



What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do?

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do

When she says her last goodbye?

I bet you wanna sit right down and cry

What'cha gonna do

When your baby leaves?

What'cha gonna do?



You come home early in the morning

You think everybody is asleep

She's been sitting there with her eyes wide open

And tears are running down her cheeks



Now tell me, boys

I want you to tell me

Yes, yes, yes

All right



You know my mother she done told me

Late on one Saturday night

She said you ought to be home with the one who loves you

You know the gal who treats you right



Now she said, "now listen, son

You know I'm your mother

You know I wouldn't tell you nothing wrong

But I want you

Yes, I want you to tell me

Oh



What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do?

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

What'cha gonna do

Now, when she says her last goodbye?

You better get right down on your knees and cry

What'cha gonna do when your baby leaves you?

Tell me, watcha gonna do?"



What'cha gonna do?

What'cha gonna do?
