YOU'RE OUT DOING WHAT I'M HERE DOING WITHOUT
(A. Frizzell / B. Roberts)


Gene Watson - 1983
Cindy Jackson - 2006




You've been staying out late almost every night
While I sit home and wait for you 
Sometimes until it's daylight
You think that I'm a fool 
That I don't know what it's all about
But I think that you're out doing 
What I'm here doing without

Girl, I wanna tell you that you're 
Late hours are bringing me down
You're so tired when you come home at night 
That you don't even care that I'm around
If you'd just love me like you used to 
You'd make me wanna jump and shout
But, I think that you're out doing 
What I'm here doing without

(Instrumental Break)
What I'm here doing without

It's a sad situation when you don't 
Get no loving at home
And if you don't watch your step, girl, 
You're gonna find yourself all alone
Still, you think that you can get by 
As long as you can keep me in doubt
But I think that you're out doing 
What I'm here doing without

I don't know how long that I can put up with 
What you're putting me through 
Half the time I don't know 
Where you are or what you are up to
And you don't even care when 
You think that I'm a little put out
And I think that you're out doing 
What I'm here doing without

Well I know that you're out doing 
What I'm here doing without...
