What Can I Do
Konstanza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you far away all alone
In a dark corner of the room
The party is on
You were looking to my heart
Through my eyes
What can I do?
You seduced me in a flash
Oh, what can I do?

To forget you?
You've taken my soul
And now I'm burning in...
You're watching me, you want me
That I know, you start to walk
You're coming here, oh no!
I'm looking to your body
I want more, what can I do?
You can have it all you want
Oh, what can I do?
To forget you?
You've taken my soul

Now I'm burning in lust!
(Come here...)
