Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(What do you want me to do?)
Ooh, baby, I wanna know
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
Hey, baby, I wanna know
(What do you want me to do?)
Ooh, baby
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
Ooh, for your sweet love, listen now
[Verse 2]
It's four in the morning
Can't sleep a wink, hey
My head is hurting
You know that I can't think
Oh, had to call you on the telephone
Girl, and ask you why you left me all alone
[Verse 3]
Baby, what do you want me to do?
(What do you want me to do?)
Sugar
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
For your sweet love
I wonder, what do you want me to do?
(What do you want me to do?)
Ooh, sweetie
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
For your sweet love, listen
[Verse 4]
Up in the morning 'cause I made up my mind (Made up my mind)
Ah, the way you left me ought to, ought to be a crime
Oh, if there is something I can do or say (Do or say)
Hey, to bring you back and take this heartache away
[Verse 5]
Honey, what do you want me to do for you love?
(What do you want me to do?)
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
Hey, for your sweet love
Oh whoa
What do you want me to do?
(What do you want me to do?)
Ooh, sweetie
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
For your sweet love
[Verse 6]
I'm living in blue every day
And every single night
Ooh, mama, and it just ain't right
No, no, no
[Verse 7]
All alone and it's easy to see (Easy to see)
Oh, I thought I did, but I don't a-want to be free
No, I just want to make you understand
Before you go out and find yourself another man
[Verse 8]
Well, and what do you want?
(What do you want me to do?)
What do you want?
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
Baby, what do you want?
(What do you want me to do?)
I wanna know, I wanna know
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
[Verse 9]
I take my money to the bank
(What do you want me to do?)
Yeah, so you can buy anything that you need
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
I fall down on my knees
(What do you want me to do?)
Beg you please, please, please, please, please
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
[Verse 10]
I want to love you
(What do you want me to do?)
I just want to love you and love you
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
My baby
(What do you want me to do?)
Woman, I want love
(What do you want me to do for your sweet love?)
I wanna know
