What You Gonna Do
Bananarama · Exotica
Warm expression fills up all this space
True reflections of your world in me
Deep inside I know I found your key
Lay down next to me
Show me you care
Slowly, I'm lost inside
It's all there in your eyes
What you gonna do with the good times
What you gonna do with this game
What you gonna do there's no holding back
Cause love won't wait
When you wanna love just call me
It is always the same
What you gonna do when the love runs out
Who's to blame
So if we're falling can I turn your key
Pure emotion wells up inside of me
Lost forever, in a world of dreams
There are things in us we must keep
Will you confess to me
Will you reveal
We are lost in each others eyes
Cos the love never dies
What you gonna do with the good times
What you gonna do with this game
What you gonna do there's no holding back
Cause love won't wait
When you wanna love just call me
It is always the same
What you gonna do when the love runs out
Who's to blame
What you gonna do with the good times
What you gonna do with this game
What you gonna do there's no holding back
Cause love won't wait
When you wanna love just call me
It is always the same
What you gonna do when the love runs out
Who's to blame
Love won't wait
Lay down next to me
Your face
Lay down
Your face
What you gonna do with the good times
What you gonna do with this game
What you gonna do there's no holding back
Cause love won't wait
When you wanna love just call me
It is always the same
What you gonna do when the love runs out
Who's to blame
