Checkin' Out - Bobby Womack

He’s got it all

He’s got it all

Listen to me

I just got finished

Giving the hotel manager

Back the room key

And I paid my bill

You see, I was outside in the car

In the shadows of the parking lot

Telling this woman that I was with

How happy she had made me

And she had made me feel real good

Kissing and hugging

And all of a sudden

Another car pulled up

On the parking lot

And, people

I couldn’t believe my eyes

'Cause the woman that was

Sitting in the front seat

Besides another dude

Turned out to be my old lady

There she was with another man

Oh, oh, it hurt me so bad

And the only thing I could say about it

Oh, I was checking out

And my old lady

She was checking in

You see, I was with my other woman

What hurt me so bad

She was with her boyfriend

Listen to me

Tears, tears began to fall like rain

She waited outside, y’all, in the car

While he went inside to rent the room

I wanted to say something to her

But there was nothing to say

'Cause the woman I was with

Yes, she was married too

Ow, checking out, my old lady

Old lady, my old way

Was checking in

See, y’all have to understand

Where I’m coming from

I was trying to be cool

About the situation, sitting there

Another woman asking me

Saying, baby, what’s wrong

Are you that happy

I see tears falling down

But see, y’all don’t understand

Another man was taking my old lady

Into the Hideaway Motel

And I was with my other woman

And I couldn’t say a damn thing

She, she

She was supposed to be at home

Minding the kids

But both of us were being untrue

Ooh, I guess I’ll have to go on

Go on being blind

'Cause I can’t reveal you

Not without showing mine

Not without showing mine

Oh, I was checking out

Hear me, people

My old lady with another man

Was checking in

You see, people

What made it really so bad

Was, uh, the hotel operator

Gave her the same room

That I had just checked out

Oh, the tears started

Falling down like rain, rain

Every time I thought

I had it turned down

It would just start acting up again

Oh, oh, oh, I, I, I, I

Somebody, somebody, talk to me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Have you ever been there

All you got to do is wave your hand

Let me know I’m not alone, oh, oh

Baby, I’m checking out

That woman you see with

Another man was checking in

And what make it so bad

That’s my woman, oh
