I Don't Know What to Do with You, Joe
Unraveling Love's Dilemma: McKain Lakey's Emotional Odyssey with 'Joe'
Lyrics
I don't know what to do with you, Joe
I am uncertain about how to handle our relationship, Joe.
I've been loving you all of these years
I have been expressing love for you throughout these years.
And the moments all go by so slow
The passing moments feel prolonged when reflecting on the joy, love, and tears.
When I think of the joy and the love and the tears
Recalling the emotions of joy, love, and tears when thinking about our relationship.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe
I am still unsure how to handle you, Joe.
When we're friends I can't help but want more
Being friends with you makes me desire more than friendship.
And when we're out of touch, I still miss you so much
Even when we're not in contact, I miss you deeply.
And I wonder what the hell I'm still doing this for
Questioning the purpose of continuing this emotional investment.
And I sure as hell won't have your babies
I am certain that I don't want to have children with you.
And I don't wanna be someone's wife
I am not interested in being someone's wife.
And when it comes to love, I can't say it comes easy
Expressing difficulty in navigating love.
I don't know what I need, except you in my life
Uncertain about personal needs but sure about wanting you in my life.
I've got some big plans and I've got a career
Having ambitious plans and a career.
And I'm pining for you darling, year after year
Longing for you persistently over the years.
I want you to stay and I want you to go
Conflicted feelings about whether you should stay or leave.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe
Reiterating the uncertainty in dealing with the complexity of the relationship with Joe.
I tried thinking 'bout work, I tried sleeping around
Attempted various ways to distract from thoughts of you.
I tried writing a song, I tried leaving town
Exploring different methods to move on, including leaving town.
My brother said, "Don't waste your love on that man."
Brotherly advice to not invest love in Joe.
So I tried to forget you the best that I can
Struggling to forget you as best as I can.
Cuz you never asked me to love you
Realization that you never requested my love.
So maybe it's all in my head
Considering the possibility that my feelings are self-created.
Maybe I'm just taking orders
Speculating if I am following inner desires for you in my bed.
From the voice in my gut that wants you in my bed
Fatigue from constant thoughts about you in various situations.
I'm tired of thinking 'bout you every night,
Expressing weariness in feeling the obligation to understand the situation.
Or when I'm feeling cold, or when the chord is just right
Questioning what to do with the complex emotions and uncertainties surrounding Joe.
I'm tired of feeling like I oughta know
If you had feelings for me, a plea to express them.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe
Reiterating the confusion and uncertainty in dealing with the emotions related to Joe.
And if you ever loved me, then please tell me so
Requesting clarity on whether you ever loved me.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe
Emphasizing the ongoing uncertainty in handling the relationship with Joe.
