Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're in for nasty weather
I know I broke your heart
And I can't put it back together
Seems like we're better off going our own ways
But I can't stand to let you go so will you just stay
What am I supposed to do
Oo
I'm still in love with you
I keep on wondering if you love me too so
Oo
What am I supposed to do
Everything seems fine
We hold ourselves together
Look at the outside
And we've never been better
Deep down we know that this just simply can't last but
I'm not ready for you to be part of my past
Oo
What am I supposed to do
Oo
I'm still in love with you
I keep on wondering if you love me too so
Oo
What am I supposed to do
We're falling apart
We're in for nasty weather
But look at the outside and
We've never been better
Deep down you and me both know this can't last
But I guarantee this meeting won't be our last
Cuz
Oo
I don't know what to do
Oo
I'm still in love with you
It might be better to go find someone new but
Oo
What am I supposed to do
What am I supposed to do
The lyrics of Cindy-Lee's song "What Am I Supposed To Do?" convey the message of a person who has been hurt in love before and is now trying to protect themselves from getting hurt again. The singer questions the intentions of their ex-partner who has come back into their life, after having previously claimed that they didn't need them anymore. The singer is not willing to risk another heartbreak and is therefore not falling for their ex's games again. The chorus speaks of the singer's self-respect and unwillingness to participate in a game they know they cannot win.
The lyrics also depict the emotional turmoil that comes with falling in love and getting hurt. The singer acknowledges the pain they felt after their last relationship and does not want to experience it again. They have come to terms with the fact that being with their ex would only bring them temporary happiness, followed by long-term sadness. Hence, they are not willing to fall for them again.
Overall, "What Am I Supposed To Do?" teaches us the importance of self-love and self-respect. We should not let ourselves be hurt again and again just because we want to be with someone. Instead, we should learn from our experiences and make decisions that are best for us.

Here you come knocking on my door
You are appearing at my door now
When you said you don't need me anymore
You earlier claimed you didn't require me in your life
Now do you really think I'm crazy enough
Do you honestly believe that I am foolish
To go throwing my good heart after bad love
To start pursuing an unhealthy romance again
What kind of fool do you think I am
What type of person do you assume I am?
I ain't fallin for you all over again
I am not going to fall for you again
I ain't playin a game that I know I can't win
I won't participate in a game I have a low chance of winning
Oh, what kind of fool do you think I am
What kind of imbecile do you think I am
I was lost in your love and I got burned
I was smitten with you and ended up getting hurt
You hurt me one time, I finally learned
I learned my lesson from the time you wounded me
Now that I know what your lovin can do
Having learned from experience what the consequences of being with you are
Who do you think you're talkin to
Who do you assume you're speaking with?
Fallin in love with you just brought me sorrow
Falling in love with you resulted in heartache
You'll leave me smilin tonight and cryin tomorrow
You will make me happy this evening but leave me crying tomorrow
Don't you come knocking on my door
Never show up at my door again
'Cause you know I don't need you anymore
Because you understand that I do not require you anymore
Now do you really think I'm crazy enough
Do you seriously believe that I am foolish
To go throwin my good heart after bad love
To start pursuing an unhealthy romance again
What kind of fool do you think I am
What kind of simple-minded individual do you consider me to be?
I ain't fallin for you all over again
I am not going to fall for you again
I ain't playin a game that I know I can't win
I won't participate in a game I have a low chance of winning
Oh, what kind of fool do you think I am
What type of fool do you presume I am
