Who's Making Love

About Who's Making Love

"Who's Making Love" is a song written by Stax Records staffers Homer Banks, Bettye Crutcher, Don Davis and Raymond Jackson and recorded by singer Johnnie Taylor. Released on the Stax label in the late summer of 1968, it became Taylor's breakthrough single, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot R&B singles chart and number five on the Billboard Hot 100. It became one of the few singles Taylor would become primarily known for in the mainstream. The song featured the Stax house band, Booker T. & the M. G.'s, and Isaac Hayes (on keyboards). It was Taylor's best-selling single before the release of "Disco Lady" almost a decade later. According to Bettye Crutcher, the lyrics were inspired by the 1920s novelty song "Who Takes Care of the Caretaker's Daughter (While the Caretaker's Busy Taking Care)". more »

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 cheating on your woman 
There's something you never even thought of, and that is 

[Chorus]
Who's making love to your old lady 
While you were out making love [hear me now] 
Who's making love to your old lady 
While you were out making love 

I've seen so, so many fellows 
Fall in that same old bag 

Thinking that a woman is made to, 
To be beat on and treated so bad 
Oh, fellows, let me ask you something 
I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, 

[Chorus] 

I know there are some women gives the other excuse 
I'm not tryin' to run your life, boy it's up to you 
Oh, you oh, 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, that's when it all happened 
Something I never, never dreamed of 

Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady 
While I was out making love 
Somebody was-a lovin' my old lady 
While I was out making love 
Now who's making love to your old lady 
While you were out making love 
(Who? Who? Your old lady) (While you were out making love)
