lyrics

It’s the middle of the night.
There’s not another car in sight.
And I’ve driven all this way.
With no idea of what to say.

I just hope you’ll let me in.
And with that I’ll just begin
What I want to say to you
Is I’ll do, what’s to do
Baby, when you tell me what to do.

Because I try, I try, yes I try,
But it all comes out the same
And why, you know why, because I’m no good at this game

So won’t you take me by the hand.
I don’t need to understand.
If it’s all the same to you.
I’ll just do, what’s to do.
Baby, when you tell me what to do.

Your friends they laugh and laugh and laugh
When they see me coming round.
I gaffe. I’m daft and wind up acting like a clown.

So won’t you take me by the hand.
I don’t need to understand.
If it’s all the same to you.
I’ll just do, what’s to do.
Baby when you tell me what to do.

Now I’m standing in the rain.
Peering through the window pane
Not a single light goes on.
While I smoke out on the lawn.

I will wait here through the night.
I know I got to make it right.
Because I’m so in love with you.
That I’ll do, what’s to do.
Baby, when you tell me what to do.
