What Am I Gonna Do
Love's Desperation: What Am I Gonna Do?
Lyrics
(Oh what am I gonna do)
Feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the future
I'm so afraid of losing you can't sleep at night since we're through
Expressing fear and insomnia due to the fear of losing the person
My world would end if I lose you oh what am I gonna do
Believing that life would be unbearable without the person
In all my dreams I see your smile though it just last a little while
Imagining the person's smile in dreams, even if fleeting
For that same smile he dreams up too oh what am I gonna do
Realizing that someone else also dreams of the same smile
I've seen you out with him though you've not seen me
Observing the person with someone else without their awareness
You looked into his eyes and said words you said to me
Recalling that the person spoke similar words of affection to someone else
Each time he holds you close something happens to me
Experiencing emotional turmoil when imagining the person being close to someone else
I wish that you were in my arms just saying you love me
Expressing a longing for the person's love and physical presence
Endless dreams lonely nights empty arms that long to hold you tight
Describing a state of yearning, loneliness, and unfulfilled desires
Mem'ries of a love untrue oh what am I gonna do
Reflecting on memories of a love that was not genuine or reciprocated
Oh what am I gonna do
Repeating the central question, emphasizing the sense of helplessness
