Been waitin' up early in the wee wee hours
Waitin' for you to come home
Lately seven days out of every week
I've been waitin' 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 runnin' around

You're half steppin', baby
Lettin' your good thing get away
What you're doin' in April now
You can keep on doin' it in May

While you're out with my flame
Puttin' it to some other girl's fire
You are slowly but surely, honey
Lettin' 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 steppin', baby
Leavin' your homework undone
Keep on doin' what you're doin'
Don't think that I ain't gonna be out
Havin' 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 puttin' down
I ain't gonna take much more
Of your runnin' around
You're out runnin' the streets
When you should be takin'
Care of your home first
And everything else
You can take it for what it's worth

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