Well, I see you've got a new boyfriend
Got your mixed-up husband too
I got \$25 dollars in my pocket
Want me to spend it all on you?
But I know that you would cheat on all of us
That's just the way that you do
Hey girl, I don't care where you been
I know, I've been there too
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Well, I know it's up to me and you
We can make this thing turn out like we want to
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Well, last time I thought about you
Didn't really think that much
And the last time we spoke, you said
You were afraid of my touch
And then you went your way
I stumbled down a highway, I went mine
You know, I think that it's funny
The way infatuation gets beat up by time
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared?
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Well, I see your life has evolved
Into one big masquerade
And all those old fools you used to run to
They shot you full of old age
Well, don't go expecting too much, no no
From your new love affair
Probably fall flat on his face
No one to pick you up, no one who cares
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared?
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Well, I know this is up to me and you
We make this thing turn out like we want to
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
Got your mixed-up husband too

But I know that you would cheat on all of us
That's just the way that you do
Hey girl, I don't care where you been
I know, I've been there too
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared
Woo woo baby, do you think that that's fair?
Well, I know it's up to me and you
