There was a time when you would pamper me
I used to brag about it all the time
Your friends seem to think that you're so peachy-keen
But my friends say neglect is on your mind
Who's right?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

You used to go to dinner almost every night
Danced until I thought I'd lose my breath
Now it seems your dancin' feet are always on my couch
Good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death
Ain't that a shame?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

I never ask for more than I deserve
You know it's the truth
You seem to think you're God's gift to this Earth
I'm tellin' you, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way

You ought to be thankful for the little things
But the little things are all you seem to give
You're always puttin' off what we could do today
Don't you know you ain't got but one life to live?

What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
What have you done for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

What have you done for me?
Not last week or last month
Or not even an hour ago
I'm talking ‘bout what you have done for me like about a secong ago
