I’ll be the first to say I feel ready tonight
But you are miles away, not a lover in sight
I guess I’ll hold my breath cuz it’s been a long time

You give me love and yet, got a little more on my mind
What’s a girl to do?
So deep into you

Alone is never true
Tell me, tell me…What’s a girl to do?
The independent life, I’ve been checkin it out

They get so obvious, things I’m doin without
I’d rather take the bite than never get that close
In the heat of the night this bed can be so cold

What’s a girl to do?
So deep into you
Alone is never true

Tell me, tell me…What’s a girl to do?
Slip into my lonely clothes
Count the petals on the rose

I can’t make this garden grow without you
Bone dry without you
The longer my hands are tied, the more I think about touch

But I won’t compromise, I like the best too much
I’m like a hungry child just cryin in the night
Don’t leave me runnin wild, don’t let this well run dry

What’s a girl to do?
So deep into you
Alone is never true

Tell me, tell me…What’s a girl to do?
