Do You Love Me
Bertie Blackman & Muscles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to believe all the fire is gone
But I feel some hesitation, even as you leave
Think it through, what you gonna do about me?
It hasn't always been easy, you and I both know
But the easy way out, will be a hot way to go
Do you think you can forget what we had so easily?
You may go out and find another, but what you think you lookin' for?
You might think you found a lover, but you'll still be wanting something more
When you close your eyes you might be surprised at who you're gonna see
Oh baby, what you gonna do about me?
So stop and think it over, baby, before you leave it all behind
No matter where you go, no matter what you do
I'll still be there in the back of the line
When you close your eyes you might be surprised at who you gonna see
Oh baby, what you gonna do about me?
You might spend a lifetime fighting back my memory
Now oh baby, what you gonna do about me?
Oh, I want you to think it through
What you gonna do, what you gonna do about me?
