What'd I Do? (by Whit Hill and Bill Edwards)
V1
I strolled into the kitchen after mowing the yard
She was chopping up carrots just a little too hard
I put my arms around her. She said "Wash your hands."
Directed her attention to the frying pan.
Right then I started thinking I was sinking into no man's land...

CH
What'd I do? What'd I do?
I was rootin' thru my memory, countin' my crimes
No major misdemeanors made their way to my mind
Wide-eyed and innocent, wishing I could catch a clue...
What'd I do?

V2
I said, "I sense a little tension, dear, are you upset?"
She shot me that smile and I broke a cold sweat.
I said, "Maybe I said something you misunderstood.
What's that you're cooking there, it sure smells good.
If you'd tell me how I blew it, I'd undo it, baby, if I could..."

CH
What'd I do? What'd I do?
Like a dog on ice, like a snake on a griddle
I was slidin' and slithering trying to solve the riddle
Wide-eyed and innocent, wishing I could catch a clue
What'd I do?

BR
I could have whined and pleaded,
I could have walked away
I could have overheated
And said something I'd end up regretting today...

CH
What'd I do? What did I do?
I looked her in the eye and I curled my lip
Sang Love Me Tender with a quivering hip
Dropped to one knee and after a while, I caught a smile...
So if this should happen to you.
That's what I'd do...
