about

“Steak for Two” looks back on a very young man learning for the first time what it means to fall madly in love with a feminist.

lyrics

Steak for Two c. 2014 Sidney S. Whelan

Well where you been Baby? I been waitin’ all alone
Well where you been baby? I been waitin’ all alone
I ain’t heard a word, no message on my phone.

She said: “Why I gotta call you? You know you ain’t my pa.
Why I gotta call you? You know you ain’t my pa.
I’m a good and grown woman, don’t report to no one at all.”

Well where you been Baby? You been out all night
Well where you been baby? You been out all night
I been worried ‘bout you baby, wonderin’ if you was alright.

She said: “don’t you worry ‘bout me, I can take care of myself.
Don’t you worry ‘bout me, I can take care of myself.
Jus’ worry ‘bout yourself – yourself and nobody else.”

She said: “You don’t tell me what to do; don’t tell me where to go,
And as for where I been, you ain’t got the ‘need to know’
Though I do love you baby and you see I came back home to you.
So that’s how it is – now tell me what you gonna do?”

Well I understand baby; I can’t tell you what to do.
I understand baby. Can’t tell you what to do.
But now I got the menu – I can order that steak for two…
