What you won't do

I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

Some people go around the world for love
And they may never find what they dream of
What you won't do, you do for love

You tried everything but you don't give up
In my world only you make me do
For love what I would not do

My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go

I know I only want the best, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
What you won't do, you do for love

You've tried everything but you won't give up
In my world, only you make me do
For love what I would not do

Make me do for love what I would not do




Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do

Overall Meaning

The song "What You Won't Do for Love" by Jay R is a love song about someone who is willing to do anything for their significant other. The first stanza speaks of the singer searching for love and coming back to the one they love. The second stanza talks about the singer being in a daze from the person's love and willing to go to great lengths for them. The chorus highlights the idea that people will go to great lengths for love even if it means going around the world and not necessarily finding it. The bridge talks about how the singer's love is unique and that they are willing to do anything for them.


The lyrics suggest that love can be all-consuming as the singer is in a daze from their love. The chorus emphasizes that people will do anything for love, and the singer is no exception. The song is a testament to how love can make a person act in ways they never thought possible. The use of "make me do for love what I would not do" in the ending emphasizes that love can make someone do things that are out of character, but those actions come from a place of passion and devotion.
