What You Gonna Do

Why are you sitting by the phone Looking out the window Waiting for him to come home Woman, why are you crying Looking in his eyes When you know he's lying Said he was out all night with a friend Said that he loved you and he won't do it again You lay down by his side Fooling yourself saying he's got nothing to hide He makes love to you with passion in his eyes You can look in them and tell he's living a lie He puts all his loving inside of you He closes his eyes, like he always do Cause that way you won't see the truth That he's loving another instead of you She's living in his head He's making love to you but thinking about her in your bed Trying not to scream out her name And you can feel it, it's a damn shame He explodes inside of you Don't look your way rolls on his side like he always do And your left feeling empty and lonely inside But you don't speak a word You don't repeat what your eyes have heard You start to cry Because the truth is in his eyes Woman what you gonna to do When the truth is standing right in front of you You can be a good wife and live forever in his lies Cook his dinner and raise his kids Ignore that other woman like you always did Calling your phone in the middle of the night What's done in the dark will soon come to light But my question to you Woman, what you gonna do You can be a good wife and live forever in his lies Let the years pass you by With her by his side Woman, what you gonna do When all the memories catch up with you And their living in your head And you start to remember, all the things that he said And they start to haunt you As so many ghosts do Woman, what you gonna do With all these memories, inside of you Will you be a good wife and live forever in his lies What you gonna do When the truth is standing right in front of you When she's having his baby And he's standing in front of you telling you she's his lady And all the years you gave to him they are gone And just like ten years ago Your standing by that window all alone I ask only one question of you Woman What you gonna do?
