(Spoken: 
Take a lot a entertainers, sing songs 
'Bout the things they experienced in life 
Some entertainers sing songs that they-a, 
seen other people experience in life 
Well, I'm gonna tell you some of the things 
I experienced in life) 
The old lady got mad with me the other night 
Packed that overnight grip 
Got the house by myself, just me and the dog. Ha, ha 
Sometime ya know that your animal layin' in the floor, lookin' 
at you like, say, "Uh, you done messed up buddy" 
It's that same old thang 
(Sings) 
Same old thang, baby where ya been? 
Said, same old thing, woman where ya been? 
Been gone two days, today 
I'm sittin' here all alone 
I been waitin' babe 
Waitin' by my telephone 
Said, same old thing 
Woman where ya been? 
It's that same old thing 
Baby, where ya been? 
I been up all night, waitin' in vain 
Without you baby, it just ain't the same 
Everytime I go through this baby 
We play that same old game 
Now if I ever catch ya messin' around 
Then there's no need to plead 
Just send your soul on to heaven 
'Cause the rest is home to me 
Same old thing, baby where ya been? 
It's the same old thing, woman where ya been? 
It's the same old thing 
Hey! 
My patience done run out 
My love gone bad 
I really started to leave ya woman, but 
But you're the best thing I ever had 
Same old thing, woman where ya been? 
Same old thing, baby where ya been? 
I been up all night, waitin' in vain 
Without you baby, it just ain't the same 
Every time I go through this thing with you 
You play that same old game 
Now if I ever catch you messin' around 
There's no need to plead 
Just send your soul on to heaven, haha 
'Cause the rest belong to me 
Said same old thing, baby where ya been? 
Said same old thing, baby 
Woman, where ya been? 
Spoken: 
("I was at Carol's house last night") 
No you wouldn't 
Carol was over here, her and the baby last night 
Where ya gonna be? 
Ya gotta find somethin' else baby 'cause you know 
I started to leave you, but you the best thing I've ever had 
("Then I went by Mollie's house") 
No, hell no, Mollie called here lookin' for ya 
You've got to come right with me, baby 
No wigglin' of the hip 
See the same old thing baby 
I done told you, no, don't do that to me, no mo' 
'Cause I, I love you baby 
I'm really in love wit' cha baby
