What have you done for me lately
I such a common attitude
What have you done for me lately
Is how old friends show their gratitude
Now just when you need a little support
Their faces get long and their memories get short, so
What have you done for me lately -
Cause lately I've been doing without you...
She was young and beautiful and drowning
I was the only hero in the crowd
Gave her artificial respiration and mouth to mouth resuscitation
Took her home and dried her out
Fed her lots of chicken soup and chocolate
And tucked her right in a feather bed
I nursed her though the night and with the morning light
She rolled over, looked up at me and said...
What have you done for me lately
Cause lately I've been doing without you...
What have you done for me lately
Don't let me be misconstrued
Cast your bread on the waters, and what do you get?
Some hard luck story -
And your bread gets wet, so
What have you done for me lately -
Cause lately I've been doing without you...
