Patti LaBelle Lyrics: Shoe Was on the Other Foot Lyrics

Patti LaBelle - Shoe Was on the Other Foot

Ooh...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 stopping in
And sometimes havin’ 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

Oh, I, I think you take for granted
That I’m always gonna be here
This is your final notice
Soon I’m gonna be 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

If I stayed out late
And didn’t even call
There to pick you up (Wasn’t there to pick you up)
Whenever you fall (Whenever you fall)

If I didn’t smile (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

I think you take for granted that I’m always gonna be here
This is your final notice, soon I’m gonna be out of here

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
Tellin’ you ain’t no good gonna come to you

If I stayed out late
And didn’t even call (And did not call) {Didn’t call you}
There to pick you up (Wasn’t there to pick you up )
Whenever you fall (When you fall)

If I didn’t smile (If I didn’t smile and compliment you when I)
And compliment you when I should (When I should)
What would you do (Tell me what, what, what would you, what would you do)
If the shoe was on the other foot

If I stayed out late (If I stayed out late)
And didn’t even call (If I didn’t call that would be a “No-no”, baby
There to pick you up (Wasn’t there to pick you up)
Whenever you fall (Whenever you’d fall, ooh...if I)

If I didn’t smile (Didn’t smile)
And compliment you when I should (If I didn’t smile)
(Tell me, tell me what) What would you do (What would you)
If the shoe was on the other foot

Tell me, tell me what would you do
{If the shoe was on the other foot}
If you had to, tell me
{If the shoe was on the other foot}
If you have to do like I do sometimes
