Where Would You Be Today
[Verse 1]
You've come a long way baby to get where you are
But look how quickly you forget who helped you get this far
Oh, you were just a piece of trash
Out there on the street
And from the depths of the gutter
I lifted you and you put on your feet

[Pre-Chorus]
And to show your gratitude
You slapped me, baby
With the news that you wanna be freed

[Chorus]
But tell me where (Where)
Would you be (You be)
Today (Today)
If it wasn’t for me (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
Stop and think about it, baby
(Think about it, think about it)
(Think about it, think about it, baby, baby)

[Verse 2]
You got a name now honey (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
Just look where you stand (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
Oh but
Oh, how quickly you still forget me (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
Willing to help a hand (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
'Cause all you knew were hotdogs (Woo-oo-oo-woo, ha)
Before I gave you steaks to eat (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
I brought you a different suit of clothes (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
For each day of the week (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
And to show your gratitude
You slapped me, baby
With the news that you wanna be freed

[Chorus]
But tell me where (Where)
Would you be (You be)
Today (Today)
If it wasn't for me (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
Stop and think about it, baby
(Think about it, think about it)
(Think about it, think about it, baby, baby)

[Bridge]
Now don’t you just let some (Woo)
Pretty little thing get found
Fill your head with jive (Woo)
Make you bite the hand that feeds you (Woo)
Tell me how would you survive?

[Chorus]
Where would you be today (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
If it wasn't for me?
(Think about it, think about it)
(Think about it, think about it, baby, baby)
Oh, right back in the gutter
Where would you be today (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
If it wasn't for me?
(Think about it, think about it)
(Think about it, think about it, baby, baby)
Oh, why don't you stop and think about it?
[Outro]
Think, think, think, think (Woo-oo-oo-woo)
Think, think, think, think
Think about it, think about it
Think about it, think about it, baby
(Think about it, think about it)
(Think about it, think about it, baby, baby)
Oh, I want you to stop right now
