lyrics

What to Do (One True Love)

I don’t know what to do with these feelings for you - and they hurt
I worry, I wake and I pine and I wait - but I work
‘cause the sky is not falling
And the wise are not weeping
And the real world slips on by

I know what I feel and these feelings are real and for you
Shallow as words and obscene and absurd - but they’re true
But how longer lasting?
On the rough road where they’ll be landing
Where strangers catch our eyes

Save my one true love for you
Save my one true love for you

But I know this is nonsense
And when desire takes on conscience
Whole worlds fall apart

We’re so, we’re so wise – and real life, real life lies

And the world runs on bad timing
And I only had a lifetime
And my lizard brain won’t die

I do know what to say and I do know how to win and what works
How fickle are feelings against the fates and the flakes and the flirts

And it’s all far too easy
To fall down slick and sleazy
Where endings pose as starts

Save my one true love for you
Save my one true love for you
Save my one true love for you
Save my one true love for you
