What'll You Do About Me
Randy Travis · Trail of Memories The Randy Travis Anthology [Rhin [2002]
The fire, the wine and the touch of a man
But fell in love and ruined all your plans
Now what'll you do about me?
Imagine the faces on your high class friends
When I beat on the door and I beg to come in
Screamin', ''Come on love me again.''
Now what'll you do about me?
Well, you can change your number
You can change your name
You can ride like hell on the midnight train
That's alright Momma, that's okay
But what'll you do about me?
--- Instrumental ---
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good ol boy standin' out in the rain
With his nose on window pain
Now what'll you do about me?
What in the world are you planning to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And I'm on the porch with a 2 by 2
Lady, what will you do about me?
Well, you can call your lawyer
You can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake the neighbors up
Ain't no way to stop a man in love
Now what'll you do about me?
--- Instrumental ---
All you wanted was a one night stand
The fire and the wine and the touch of a man
But fell in love and baby here I am
Now what'll you do about me?
Well, you can change your number
You can change your name
You can ride like hell on the midnight train
That's alright Momma that's okay
Now, what'll you do about me?
Now, what'll you do about me?
Now, what'll you do about me?...
