What Should I Do?
A.N.JELL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We packed our bags and headed down south
Let the food go bad so we threw it all out
All the money we spent it was all for not
It came and it went like all that we sought

Just find a place and rest your head
Another damn day and another damn bed
Well I've thought about what I want to say
But a lot of good things go to waste
Don't wanna say you're in my your world anyway

So tell me
What should we do?

Might go to school you know I'd like to learn
But you'd call me a fool if I didn't care what I'd earn
We had not, yet, fully grown
Did you leave all of your friends back home?
Yah, did you venture out on your own?
Tell me

What should we do?

Well we could fly together, anywhere
Or drive and let the wind flow through your hair
And I'll sing folks songs all day long
And if the night intrudes it might not be wrong
So let the night intrude on this song

What should we do?
Well we could fly together, anywhere
What should we do?
Or drive and let the wind flow through your hair
What should we do?
And I'll sing folks songs all day long
What should we do?
And if the night intrudes it might not be wrong
What should we do?
So let the night intrude on this song
What should we do?




So let the night intrude on this song
What should we do?

Thank you so much for the English translations of the lyrics.
I have just finished watching this drama on 9th Jan 2022...my very first time.
Really enjoyed it & the actors and actresses portrayed their roles real good. You either love or dislike them in their roles. That's how good they are.
And yet, you can see their character evolved & changed over time.
Park Shin Hye's portrayal of the twins are really good & hilarious.
I am in love with the A.N.JELL boys.
Love their singing.
I love the OST especially "What should I do" & " "Without words".
When Jang Keun Suk sang the "What should I do" at the concert in the finale, I can feel the pain & longing even though I don't understand Korean language at all.
It's so good that my tears just flow down from my eyes.
No wonder the comments that I have read from different places were all singing praises of it.
Though it was made in 2009, it didn't feel like it was then.
Still very good for today's standard.
Cheers😊
