What
about us?

I.
What about us? Think of all we've shared.
What about us, babe? You know I care.
It's plain that you are leaving,
Just as plain that I am grieving,
So tell me, fella, What about us?
What about us, now, can you forget
How our passion started flowing on the night we met?
You moaned so much the people
Living upstairs couldn't sleep,
So, won't you tell me, baby, what about us?
You laughed and told your friends
That you were gonna walk a little on the wild side.
So, mister, why not tell them
All the evening that you snuggled up to my side,
And even held my hand?
Well, aren't you just—yeah—
Just a little bit frightened
That you'll call my name out in the middle of the night.
You're acting homophobic
But our sex was so aerobic
That I'm moved to ask you, what about us?
II.
What about love? Can you keep it hidden?
What about love? Will it do your bidding?
You can try to change your dealings,
But, can you control your feelings?
Come on, tell me, lover, what about love?
What about love? Say, if I kissed your lips, now,
Could you remain so cool, or would you move your hips?
At first, you made me blue,
But now I think I'm getting to you, sweetheart!
Could you answer, what about us?
You told your momma you were gonna
Start up once again with your old girlfriend.
Well, I've got everything she has, I do!
Yeah, I can take you 'round the world, friend,
And maybe to the moon!
So, what about me? You know I've got some rights!
Remember just who asked who to stay those lonely nights.
I'm looking in your eyes,
And I can feel your fever rising, babe,
I'm calling to you! What about us?!
