What'll You Do About Me

Steve Earle


All you wanted was a one night stand 
The fire, the wine, and the touch of a man 
I fell in love an ruined all your plans 
What'll you do about me? 

Imagine the faces on your high class friends 
When I bang on the door and I beg to come in 
I'll scream "Come on, love me again" 
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 all right, mama, that's o.k. 
What'll you do about me? 

I picture your neighbors when you try to explain 
That good ol' boy standin' out in the rain 
With his nose on the window pane 
What'll you do about me? 

What in the world are you plannin' to do 
When a man comes over just to visit with you 
And I'm on your porch with a 2 by 2 
Lady, what'll 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 
So, what'll you do about me? 

All you wanted was a one night stand 
The fire, the wine, and the touch of a man 
But I fell in love and baby, here I am 
What'll you do about me? 
What'll you do about me? 
What'll you do about me?
