Whatcha Gonna Do for Me?

I've lost my job at the factory
And I don't know just what to do
I helped you when you needed me
And I expect the same from you
I never thought I'd see the day
My life in such a disarray

Can't you see how I need you?
Whatcha gonna do for me?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Whatcha gonna do for me?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Whatcha gonna do for me?

Tryin' to hold on to my self-respect
But they just shut off my telephone
It's hard to live on an unemployment check
With a wife and four children at home
I build your country big and strong
I've been your right hand all along

Can't you see how I need you?
Whatcha gonna do for me?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Whatcha gonna do for me?
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Whatcha gonna do?

(Whatcha gonna do?)

Your time'll come and you'll be singin' blues
And then you're gonna understand
How it feels to pay real dues
And stand up like a family man
You're gonna know it feels to be hungry
You'll be the one who never has no money
And you'll be singin'

Whatcha gonna do for me?
