(Bill Anderson)

(Bill)
Well baby, now that you've got your freedom.
How you're doin'? (Without.)

(Mary Lou)
And honey, I'm a subject you've got your freedom too.
How you're doin'? (Without.)

(Bill)
Without your arms around me the world's a lonely place

(Mary Lou)
Please don't look too close when you're look into my face.
So you see that I've been crying
(And crying ain't what freedom's all about.)

(Both)
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do it with you
I'll do without

(Bill)
You know the last time I saw you
Was that time when you came in and said
That you didn't want to live with me anymore

(Mary Lou)
Yeah, I thought we'd both be better off
If we'd just untie the knot and losin' the chain
But honey, I was in your arms five minutes
Before I knew I made a big mistake.

(Bill)
And you just don't know how many nights
I've layed awake in a big cold bed
And called your name
And I just wonder now
If all the men in town are cravin' your body?
Honey, what you're doin'. (Without.)

(Mary Lou)
And if all the girls are chasin' you
What have you been doin'? (Without.)
Without your arms around me the world's a lonely place
I wanna do my thing with you and if I can't do with you
I'll do without...
