Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why did you have to come my way
I was doing so well till i saw you today
But i couldn't look away

Since you're back i've been a mess
Can't stand this loneliness
But still i must confess
No one else can make me feel like you do
Oh baby what can i do

What can i do

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
Call me mad

Why did you have to come my way
I was doing so well till i saw you today
But i couldn't look away

Since you're back i've been a mess
Can't stand this loneliness
But still i must confess
No one else can make me feel like you do
Oh baby what can i do

What can i do

What can i do you're back
i've been a mess can't you see
