Lyrics
While you're running around bawlin'
Or playin at clubs every night
Ya oughta 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
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves you
Whatcha' gonna do
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves you
Whatcha' gonna do
When she says her last goodbye
I bet you wanna sit right down and cry
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves
Whatcha' gonna do
Ya come home early in the morning
Ya 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
Alright
Ah, you know my mother she done told me
Late on one Saturday night
She said, "You oughta 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 nothin wrong
But I want you
Yes, I want you to tell me"
Ooh
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves you
Whatcha' gonna do
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves you
Whatcha' gonna do
Now when she says her last goodbye
Ya better get right down on your knees and cry
Whatcha' gonna do when your baby leaves you
Tell me watcha gonna do
Ooh, whatcha' gonna do
Whatcha' gonna do
