Tell Me What To Do
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Truth is I really really really want you
I've never met anyone like you, not before
Truth is I really really want to hold you
I never want to be without you in my life

The very thought of you and me being here alone
Keeps me breathin'
I can't believe that this is my reality
Am I dreamin'

Tell me what to do, tell me what to do
To keep this love together
Through the rain and stormy weather
Tell me what to do

I never came here to tell you how I feel
Saw you fallin'




I only came to listen and to help you heal
Love came callin'
