Don't Know What To Do
Rachel Alejandro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have loved you only in my mind
But I know that there will come a time
To feel this feeling I have inside
You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Falling in and out of love just like a play
Memorizing each line, I still don't know what to say
What to say...
Don't know what to do whenever you are near
Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Ev'ry minute, ev'ry second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way
You're beside me all the time
All the time...

I have loved you and I always will
Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
This feeling I have for you inside
I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
Memorized all the lines and here I am
Struggling for words I still don't know what to say
What to say...

Don't know what to do whenever you are near
Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears
When you pass by I could fly
Ev'ry minute, ev'ry second of the day
I dream of you in the most special way




You're beside me all the time
All the time... all the time... all the time

I have loved you only in my mind
I have had feelings for you without expressing them


But I know that there will come a time
I believe that we will eventually have a chance to be together


To feel this feeling I have inside
To finally express my love for you


You're a hopeless romantic is what they say
Others label me as someone who is in love with love


Falling in and out of love just like a play
My emotions are constantly shifting like a theatrical performance


Memorizing each line, I still don't know what to say
Even though I know how I feel, I struggle to put it into words


Don't know what to do whenever you are near
I am so overwhelmed by my emotions that I am unsure how to act


Don't know what to say, my heart is floating in tears
I am so moved by your presence that I am on the verge of tears


When you pass by I could fly
Your mere presence has the power to lift my spirits


Ev'ry minute, ev'ry second of the day
I am constantly thinking of you


I dream of you in the most special way
My love for you fuels my dreams at night


You're beside me all the time
Even when you are not physically present, you are always in my thoughts


I have loved you and I always will

Call it crazy but I know someday you'll feel
I have faith that one day you will reciprocate my feelings


I'm a hopeless romantic I know I am
I am aware of my tendencies to be swept up in romance


Memorized all the lines and here I am
Despite knowing the words I should say, I still struggle to express myself


Struggling for words I still don't know what to say
Even with all the words at my disposal, I cannot fully convey my feelings for you


All the time...
My love for you is constant and unchanging

yeah..... i'm in love with you MR.7B. FIRST.... I'd like to THANK YOU for a SWEET MOMENT. SECOND.... I was so surprised when you KISSED ME but all I really wanna do is to hug you tight to let you know that you stole my heart. I've no regrets really. Until now I'M SHOCK, I FEEL LIKE I'M DREAMING? But those DREAMS turn into REALITY. Don't be afraid of me if you think that I'm mad at you and I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO LOVE ME IN RETURN. SO MANY QUESTIONS...DON'T KNOW WHERE COULD I FIND THE ANSWERS?.
