What Can I Do
Issa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I close my eyes
When I think of you
There's no one else for me
Nothing brings me down
No matter what
'Cause life goes on
Yeah life goes on
You can take my world
My everything
But you will still remain
I will stand up tall
My destiny
Will find me soon

As the time goes by
But where are you now
I can tell by the look in your eyes
Just follow your heart

What can I do
Your love brings me back to you
Tell me, what can I do
It's not over 'til the night is through
What can I do
What can I do

Now it's up to you
It's all in your court
There's nothing I can do
Will I ever find
The peace of mind
I long for

As the time goes by
But where are you now
I can tell by the look in your eyes
Just follow your heart

What can I do
Your love brings me back to you
Tell me, what can I do
It's not over 'til the night is through
Tell me, what can I do

It always comes
Down to me and you
I still remember
The good times we had
And what we lost

What can I do
Your love brings me back to you
Tell me, what can I do
It's not over 'til the night is through
Tell me, what can I do
Your love brings me back to you
Tell me, what can I do




It's not over 'til the night is through
So what can I do

Yeah you are talking it straight. She sure should have some airplay at states. But as you probably know aready, it´s really hard for european bands to get in US markets. Cause most of you guys like some Britney and stuff. Well the real heavy-metal stuffl is still waiting for you guys. So keep patient.
