Annotationen
Don Davis war ein Motown Produzent, der beim Southern-Soul-Label Stax mit der Idee unter Vertrag kam, den Motown- und den Southern-Soul miteinander zu verheiraten und das Label zu neuen kommerziellen Erfolgen zu führen. Das Resultat war, dass alteingesessene Musiker aus dem Kreis von Booker-T. And The MG's ausstiegen, weil sie mit dem unorganischen und synthetischen Produktionsansatz nichts anfangen konnten und wollten. Hingegen war die Zusammenarbeit von Davis mit Johnnie Taylor, dem Nachfolger Sam Cookes bei den Soul Stirrers, ein künstlerischer und kommerzieller Erfolg.

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?
