All you wanted was a one-night stand        
The fire of a wine and the touch of a man        
But I fell in love and ruined all of your plans        
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 and 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        
But that’s alright mama, that’s O.K.        
But what'll you do about me ?
        
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good ol' boy standin' out in the rain        
With his nose on the window pane        
Lady, 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 the porch with a 2' by 2'
Tell me what'll you do about me ?

Well, you can call your lawyer, you can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake your neighbours up
There ain't no way to stop a man in love        
What'll you do about me ?

Instrumental Break

All you wanted was a one-night stand        
The fire of a wine and the touch of a man        
But I 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        
But that’s alright mama, that’s O.K.        
But what'll you do about me

Well you can call your lawyer, you can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake your neighbours up
There ain't no way to stop a man in love
So what'll you do about me?

What'll you do about me?

What'll you do about me?

Picture the faces when you try to explain
That good ol' boy standin' out in the rain
With his nose on the window pane
Now what'll you do about me?

And what in the world are you plannin' to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And I'm headin' north with a dinner for two
Hey what'll you do about me?
