I tried to say it didn't matter
I tried to say it wasn't true
I knew that the girl I was after
Was 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 talking to you. "
She said the thing that 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'll pick it all up for you
And when it feels like all the world's on the ground
I'll 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 can do this together

Just tell me baby
Hey!
What can I do, girl?
What can I do to end up with you, girl? (Girl?)
Tell me, baby: what can I do, girl?
What can I do to end up with you?

Hey! (Hey!)
What can I do, girl?
What can I do to end up with you, girl? (Hey!)
Tell me, baby: what can I do, girl?
What can I do to end up with you?

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?

I'm bad – I'm bad – I'm drinkin'
Yeah – yeah – yeah~
I'm lovin' ya – I'm lovin ya – I'm lovin' ya – I'm lovin' ya baby it's true
Tell me baby! Oh baby! 'Ey babe!
Tell me baby: what can I do?
