Half Steppin'

(album: Miss Randy Crawford - 1977)

Been waiting up early in the wee wee hours
Waiting for you to come home
Lately seven days out of every week
I've been waiting up here alone
I got grey hair in my head
I even lost twenty five pounds
I'll be damned if I'll lose anymore
While you're out running around

You're half stepping, baby
Letting your good thing get away
What you're doing in April now
You can keep on doing it in May

While you're out with my flame
Putting it to some other girl's fire
You are slowly but surely, honey
Letting your home light die
A woman can only take so much
And still love her man
If you can't take care of your homework
I'll find someone who can

You're half stepping, baby
Leaving your homework undone
Keep on doing what you're doing
Don't think that I ain't gonna be out
Having my fun, yeah

You're one third of the man
That you once used to be
And that's just not enough
To satisfy me
I'm so tired of what you've been putting down
I ain't gonna take much more
Of your running around
You're out running the streets
When you should be taking
Care of your home first
And everything else
You can take it for what it's worth

You're half stepping, honey
Letting your good thing get away
And what you've donein April, child
You might as well keep on doing it in May
Oh, you're half stepping
Leaving your homework undone
Keep on doing what you do
Don't think that I ain't gonna
Go on out and have me some fun
Oh, you're half stepping
