I tried to say it didn't matter
I tried to say it wasn't true
I knew the girl that i was after
Was far too hard to pursue

But then i found out
I had a chance, i had to ask
Maybe baby if i cleaned up my act
I need a chance, a chance at romance
What in the world can i do?

Hey, what can i do girl
What can i do to end up with you, girl
Tell me baby, what can i do girl
What can i do to, end up with you

She said you gotta listen
When i'm talkin' to you
She said the thing i was missin'
Was never tellin' the truth

But then i found out
I had a chance, i had to ask
Maybe baby if i cleaned up my act
I need a chance, a chance at romance
What in the world can i do?

Hey, what can i do girl
What can i do to end up with you, girl
Tell me baby, what can i do girl
What can i do to, end up with you

And when it feels like all the world's fallin' down
I pick it all up for you
And when it feels like all the world's on the ground
I bring you up to the moon
So tell me what can i do?

I know it's hard to give it all up to me
You know it's all for the better
I know it's hard, i know it's hard to believe
That we could do this together
Just tell me baby

Hey, what can i do girl
What can i do to end up with you, girl
Tell me baby, what can i do girl
What can i do to, end up with you
