since I had words with you
Tell me what you've been doing
Tell me baby what's new
I've been hanging 'round with our old friends
Getting a line on what's happening with your game
They all know something about you
but their stories all are the same
Look out girl You're gonna get caught ooh
Getting caught means I'm gonna lose you
Get on the right track
Then I'll have you back
Second hand hangups don't get me down
This ain't my first time around
I'm not disillusioned
I'm a member of the union
membership paid done my dues
chorus
verse 1
Tell me baby what's new
