[ Bill ]
Well baby now that you've got your freedom how you're doin' (without)
[ Mary Lou ]
And honey I'm a subject you've got your freedom too how you're doin' (without)
[ Bill ]
Without your arms around me the world's a lonely place
[ Mary Lou ]
Please don't look too close when you're looking to my face
So you see that I've been crying (and crying ain't what freedom's all about)
[ Both ]
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you I'll do without
[ Bill ]
You know the last time I saw you was that when you came in
And said that you didn't want to live with me anymore
[ Mary Lou ]
Yeah I thought we'd both be better off if we just untight the knot
And losin' the chance
But honey I was in your arms five minutes before I knew I made a big mistake
[ Bill ]
And you just don't know how many nights I've laid awake in a big cold bed
And called your name
And I just wonder now if all the men in town are cravin' your body
Honey what you're doin' (without)
[ Mary Lou ]
And if all the girls are chasin' you what have you been doin' (without)
Without your arms around me...
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you I'll do without
