How Can I
The Corrs - What Can I Do? (MTV Unplugged) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
There's only so much I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows, I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope
What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to make you care?
What can I say to make you feel this?
What can I do to get you there?
No more waiting, no more aching
No more fighting, no more trying
Maybe there's nothing more to say
And in a funny way, I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly
What can I do to make you love me? (What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care? (What can I do to make you care?)
What can I say to make you feel this? (What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there? (What can I do to make you care?)
What can I do to make you love me? (What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to make you care? (What can I do to make you care?)
What can I change to make you feel this? (What can I do to make you love me?)
What can I do to get you there? (What can I do to make you care?)
And love me
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
Love me, love me (love me, love me)
The lyrics of "What Can I Do" by The Corrs express a sense of desperation and longing for love and attention from someone. The singer reveals that they have been unable to sleep, indicating the depth of their emotional turmoil. The line "It's been so long since we've talked" suggests a lack of communication or distance between the singer and the person they desire.
The repeated line "What can I do to make you love me?" conveys the singer's desperation to win the affection and love of the other person. They are searching for answers, wanting to understand what they need to do to make a genuine connection. The mention of caring and feeling reflects a desire for emotional reciprocity and intimacy.
With "There's only so much I can take," the singer implies that they have reached a breaking point or limit to their emotional endurance. They contemplate letting go and surrendering to the circumstances, suggesting a sense of resignation. The line "If I don't try and I don't hope" reveals a potential strategy of detachment as a means to protect oneself from further pain and disappointment.
The lyrics also depict the singer's realization that they may have exhausted all efforts to salvage the relationship. The phrase "Maybe there's nothing more to say" suggests a recognition that words may not be enough to change the situation. However, the line "in a funny way, I'm calm" indicates a sense of acceptance or peace found in relinquishing control and accepting that the power lies outside of their influence.
Overall, the lyrics convey a yearning for love and validation from someone who remains emotionally distant. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's desperation and their persistent desire to understand what they can do to bridge the gap and ultimately win the affection of the person they long for.
