What To Do
Dr. Know Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep on stumbling
And you don't understand I'm just not another angry guy
I'm far from perfect
And I will never reap perfection and that I don't mind
You came crashing down on my Peace
Now I got to send you off
You wanted to confront me for who I am and who are you?
You're just wasting my time and it's Time for you to go
You couldn't handle the mighty
Hand that watches my back
Now you're shattered to your core
What are you going to do?
I keep on stumbling
And your ignorance doesn't overshadow
Who I am and who I'm not
I laugh at my mistakes
I realized there's certain things that I just need to let fly by
You came crashing down on my Peace
Now I got to send you off
You wanted to confront me for who I Am and who are you?
You're just wasting my time and it's Time for you to go
You couldn't handle the mighty
Hand that watches my back
Now you're shattered to your core
What are you going to do?
I keep on stumbling my path seems rocky but I keep and open mind
Who is this standing over me?
I try to keep my cool as long as my business you don't mind
You came crashing down on my Peace
Now I got to send you off
You wanted to confront me for who I Am and who are you?
You're just wasting my time and it's Time for you to go
You couldn't handle the mighty
Hand that watches my back




Now you're shattered to your core
What are you going to do?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of this song are sarcastic and make a mockery out of someone who is overly obsessed with their significant other. At face value, the lyrics seem like a typical romantic song, with repeated mentions of wanting to fulfill the other person's every wish for Christmas or their birthday. However, the tone of the song quickly turns with the repetition of "all I want, want, want is you," suggesting that the singer is only interested in possessing their partner and nothing else matters.


The lines, "If you want a diamond ring to shine, shine, shine / Or a fancy little watch to tell the time, time, time," further emphasize the superficiality of the singer's desires, as they are willing to give material gifts to keep their partner happy as long as they remain possessive. The repeating choruses of "What do you want, whatever it is I'll get it for you" are a warning sign of a toxic relationship where one person is willing to lose themselves completely for their partner's satisfaction.


Overall, "What To Do" is a satirical take on the societal expectations of romantic love, highlighting the dangers of being too obsessed with one's partner and losing one's identity in the process.
