What Can I Do
S.O.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mathematic problems they're so easy
But you make me so mad
What can I do?
Since I met you I can't let you out of sight
For another man to discover you're alright
And if he makes you glad
When I'm so much in love with you yes
No matter what you do
I'll never change my mind
My vocation's recreation time for me
But the last one is the last one I'll be free
'Cause you make me so mad
What can I do?
All my life I've wanted someone just like you
But if seeing is believing, it's not true
'Cause you make me so mad
What can I do?
When I'm so much in love with you
Yes no matter what you do
I'll never change my mind
I'll never change my mind
No no no
Change my mind
Never ever change my mind
What can I do?
In S.O.P's song "What Can I Do," the lyrics speak to the conflicting emotions and struggles that come with being in love with someone. The opening lines, "I can take the sun and make it shine for me, mathematic problems they're so easy," convey a sense of confidence and control that the singer possesses in their own abilities. However, when it comes to their love interest, they feel overwhelmed and frustrated, as indicated by the line "But you make me so mad, what can I do?"
The chorus of the song reflects the singer's inability to let go of their love interest, even though they are aware that someone else might make them happy. The lines "Since I met you I can't let you out of sight, for another man to discover you're alright, and if he makes you glad, what can I do?" highlight the jealousy and possessiveness that the singer experiences. They are deeply in love and unwilling to change their mind, regardless of any circumstances.
As the song continues, the singer reveals that their life previously consisted of enjoying recreational activities but now feels limited by their love for this person. The line "But the last one is the last one I'll be free, 'cause you make me so mad, what can I do?" indicates that their freedom and personal enjoyment have been compromised. Despite this, their desire for a romantic connection has finally been fulfilled with this person, although they question the reality of their happiness, wondering if seeing is truly believing.
Ultimately, the lyrics capture the internal conflict and struggle of being deeply in love with someone, despite the frustrations and doubts that arise. The singer is torn between their emotions and their longing for happiness and fulfillment in their relationship.
