I turned out all the lights
in my old world
There in the dark I left a

tremblin' crying darling girl
It's plain to see that you got me
Doin' what I have to do

to be with you.

I wonder how big a fool a man can be

Burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts,
and causin' miseries, right or wrong
I'll go on doin' what I have to do

to be with you.

It seems you possess me body and soul

You keep my heart to poundin' so
my mind can't take control


I can't change the things I fail to see
In time I know some things I've done
gonna all come down on me

I'll get by, though I might cry
Doin' what I have to do
to be with you.
