Lyrics

What do you do when you’re down and out

Do you sit and sigh and wonder why

If the answer just comes right to you-ou

It’s letting you know just what to do

Oh your lady’s tired of you running around

And if you don’t stop she’ll put you down

Says she’s got good to gi-i-ive

All of her love and affection here

All you got to do is stop running around





Chorus: Tell me, are you tired

Tell me, are you tired runnin’ around

Ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh

Tell me, are you tired

Running arou-ou-ou-ound, mm-mm





Tell me, are you tired

Tell me, are you tired pla-a-ay round town

Tell me, are you tired

Tell me, are you tired gettin’ down on the town

Stay at home, stay at home





Lady says she needs your love

It just can’t come from up above

She doesn’t want to be by herself

Says she wants you and no one else

Knows you bring home the bread

That’s half the plan, stay and hold her hand

You being home is surely missed

All she wants is you to hug and kiss

All you got to do is start

Stay at home





Chorus
