What Am I Supposed To Do
Robbie Williams · Other Songs - Robbie Williams
To keep from going under
Now your making holes in my heart
and yes it's starting to show
I've been holding back
Is it any wonder?
Since you walked right into my life
and interrupted the flow
CHORUS
I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again
Did it again, did it again
Baby I've got to know
Are we gonna make it?
Lay it down right beside me tonight
and do whatever you feel
Baby you're in control
Where you gonna take it?
Don't you think that I'll do you right
you know darn well that I will
CHORUS
I wanna know
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, do it again
Baby you turn your lovelight down
And I don't know,
just how long I can stick around
Gonna need more,
and it ain't just physical
I dunno what I can do, if I've found
that It ain't love this time around
Keep turning down your lovelight, did it again (x 4)
CHORUS
Whenever you...
Baby when you're with me
Who do you think you're foolin'?
Making me feel so sure
Turnin' your lovelight down again
Why don't you let me be
You don't know what you're doin'
Making me feel so sure
And turnin' your lovelight down again
