Shoe Was On The Other Foot Lyrics - Patti Labelle

Ooh, baby, ah 

Sorry to disturb you 

But I had to get this off my chest 

I know you've been real busy 

Don't have time for emotional stress 

You see, taking care of home 

Means more than just the rent 

It means calling now and then 

On occasions dropping in 

And sometimes having flowers sent 

What if I stayed out late 

And didn't even call 

Wasn't there to pick you up 

Whenever you fall 

If I didn't smile 

And compliment you when I should 

Tell me what would you do 

If the shoe was on the other foot? 

Still, what would you do? 

Oh, I, I think you take for granted 

That I'm always gonna be here 

This is your final notice 

Soon I'm gonna disappear 

I'm not asking for a whole lot 

Just think of me now and then 

If you don't know what I'm saying 

I don't know how this love can win 

And didn't even call 

Wasn't there to pick you up 

Whenever you fall 

If I didn't smile 

And compliment you when I should 

Tell me what would you do 

If the shoe was on the other foot? 

Well, you should do unto others 

As you would have them do to you 

You reap what you sow and that's how it goes 

So be careful what you do 

Telling you ain't no good gonna come to you 

If I stayed out late and didn't even call 

There to pick you up 

Whenever you fall 

If I didn't smile 

And compliment you when I should 

What would you do 

If the shoe was on the other foot? 

I stayed out late 

And didn't even call 

There to pick you up 

Whenever you fall 

If I didn't smile 

And compliment you when I should 

What would you do 

The shoe was on the other foot 

Tell me, tell me what would you do 

If you had to, tell me 

If you had to do like I do sometimes
