Don't Know What To Do
Ce Ce Peniston Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

CHORUS:
I don't know what to do
Cause I'm still so into you
I know we said we were through
Don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
Cause I'm still so into you
And I know you feel it too
Don't know what to do

Said our goodbyes
We both agreed to just be friends
But there's something inside
That makes me think again

CHORUS

Pain's gone away
I can finally get it off my mind
But the minute I see your face
My emotions take over
Every part of me says one more time

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I wish you would go far away
So I can get you out of my mind
If I continue to see you everyday
I'll want you by my side
