What am I gonna do till you come home
What am I gonna do now that you're gone
What am I gonna do without you

What am I gonna do without a man
What am I gonna do
You do the best you can
What am I gonna do without you

What am I gonna do with all my time
I'll just drown my dreams in sweet wine
What am I gonna do without you

Now what are you gonna do without me
Who's gonna give you all the things you need
What are you gonna do without me

What are you gonna do it you come home
And the woman you thought was waitin' for you is gone
What are you gonna do it you come home

Now what am I gonna do till you come home
What am I gonna do now that you're gone
What am I gonna do without you
What am I gonna do without you

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
