What Do You Have To Do (To Stay On The Right Side Of Love)

Supremes · Magnificent The Complete Studio Duets [2009]

(Pam Sawyer/Leon Ware)



What do you have to do

to stay on the right side of love?

How can you give more

when you give more than enough?

oh

when I act cold

and make you wonder about me

you say you don't care

so you use either read psychology

what am I gonna do to make you love me?



what do you have to do, girl

to stay on the right track

to give love and get love back

what do you have to do, boy

your love is like puzzle to me

you're tender and then you'll meet

but you'll make love to me



I got to be insane

to keep up with your personality change

but ooh, ooh, I love you

I melt like butter

that's why you make me suffer

knowing how much I love you



What do you have to do

to stay on the right side of love?

How can I get more

when I give more than my share with enough love?

what am I gonna do to make you love me?



what do you have to do, girl

to stay on the right track

to give love and get love back

what do you have to do, boy

your love is like puzzle to me

you're tender and then you'll meet
