Whatever You Do To Me
Take That Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to see the way your games are hurting me
So why did I ever fall in love with you
You're all of my nightmares and dreams come true
What can I do to make you talk this problem through
You said you've nothing to hide
So let me hear your feelings inside
So baby, please let me go, let me go
Whatever you do to me
Somebody else will do to you
However you break my heart
Somebody else will break yours too
All I can see are staring eyes of mystery
I've tried to look behind before you take my dignity and pride
We sit and talk all night, still you never seem to lose your height
You believe in yourself, I hope I'm never gonna need your help
Whatever you do to me
Somebody else will do to you
However you break my heart
Somebody else will break yours too
You don't want me, you don't need me, I got news now
'cause baby I'm watching you
Whatever you do to me
Somebody else will do to you
However you break my heart
Somebody else will break yours too
