Who's Making Love? Lyrics

All you fellows, gather round me
and let me give you some good advice.
What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now
you better think about it twice.
While you're out cheatin' on your woman
there is something you never even thought of
and that is:
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
I've seen so, so many fellows
all in that same old bag
thinkin' that a woman is made to
to be beat on and treated so bad.
Oh, fellows, let me ask you somethin'
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of
and that is:
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
I know that other women
give the other excuse.
I'm not tryin' to run your life,
boy, that's up to you, oh you,
oh oh, you you.
Reason why I ask this question,
I used to be the same old way.
When I decided to straighten up
I found it was a bit too late.
Oh yeah, that's when it all happened,
something I never ever dreamed of.
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
while I was out makin' love.
Somebody was a-lovin' my old lady
while I was out makin' love.
Now, who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?
Who's making love to your old lady
while you were out making love?

Cover art for Who's Making Love? lyrics by Johnnie Taylor

The song is about staying loyal to your wives. The singer starts by saying that he has some good advice for men. He asks them if they have ever realized that while they were out cheating on their wife with some other woman, the same could come to happen to them. Someone would be treating their wife the same way that they have been with other men's wives.

Furthermore, he says that he has seen many men mistreat their wives because all that they think of them is that they are there to be oppressed, even beaten, and openly mistreated. The singers says that he was the same way; neglectful of his wife and mistreated her, but had that happened to him where his wife was being treated well by some other man. But, by the time he realized his mistake, it was too late to do anything.
