I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here

by Jeannie C. Riley

on Sock Soul (1968)

Well, here we are together it's the first time in my life
I have no business being here I'm someone else's wife
But I like the way you look at me and the way you call my name
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came.

I don't know what I'm doing here I should be in our home
I need love and affection I don't want to be alone
I know two wrongs don't make a right but our needs are just the same
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came.

A woman craves affection she needs that from a man
My husband doesn't give me this and I know now you can
Tomorrow's dawn is drawing near I feel the guilt and shame
I don't know what I'm doing here but I'm so glad I came.

I don't know what I'm doing here I should be in our home
I need love and affection I don't want to be alone
I know two wrongs don't make a right but our needs are just the same
