Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I tried to meet you at your own pace
Going in circles, acts of speed
I was just out to make deliveries
Trying to get you what you need
Holding up and holding on
Is such a scale
Tell me you don't need to touch somebody else's hand
[Chorus]
What in the world can I do?
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you
To take this chance on me
[PostChorus]
To take this chance on me
[Verse 2]
You and I, we have a sudden charm
Not so easily found
I said that I could turn you on
But you only turned me down
Lonely nights and broken hearts
Used to be your style
What if I told you I would stick around for a while?
[Chorus]
What in the world can I do?
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you
To take this chance on
What in the world can I do?
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you
To take this chance on
[PostChorus]
To take this chance on
[Verse 3]
We are two people with one memory
Lost in each other's best laid plans
You were afraid to bring your love to me
I was afraid to be anything but your man
Crying eyes, compromise won't get you what you need
Tell me, look me in my eyes, and say that
It ain't me
[Chorus]
What in the world can I do?
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you
To take this chance on
What in the world can I do?
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you
To take this chance on
What in the world can I do? (What can I do?)
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you (What can I do?)
To take this chance on
What in the world can I do? (What can I do?)
You won't change a thing for me
I was counting on you (What can I do?)
To take this chance on
To take this chance on
