What Do I Say
[Intro]
Mhm, mmm, hey, yeah, yeah
Woo, ooh-hoo, my darlin', uh-huh

[Verse 1]
Girl, we've been the best of friends
And I never want that feeling to end
But you've got to know what's been on my mind
'Cause I've been holding back, baby, for the longest time

[Pre-Chorus]
And every night, I lie alone in my bed
Pictures of me lovin' you runnin' 'round my head
Now, baby, it's time to let you know
That I want you, and I need you
And I never want to let you go

[Chorus]
What do I say?
What do I do?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you
What do I say?
What do I do
Tell me, baby, just to be next to you?
Oh, what do I say?
[Verse 2]
Maybe you'll turn and walk away
That's a chance that I've got to take, yeah
Said I got to know do you want me, too
'Cause I won't ever be free, baby, 'til I know the truth, yeah yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
We always talk about the good times that we've had
But girl, tonight, let's talk about what lies ahead
'Cause baby, when look into your eyes
I wanna touch ya, I wanna hold ya
I wanna love you for the rest of my life, baby

[Chorus]
What do I say?
What do I do
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you?
I wanna know, what do I say?
What do I do, girl?
Tell me, baby, just to be next to you
What do I say?

[Pre-Chorus]
And every night, I lie alone in my bed
Pictures of me lovin' you
Runnin' 'round and 'round and 'round my head
And baby, when I look into your eyes
I wanna touch ya, I wanna hold ya
I wanna love you for the rest of my life
[Chorus]
What do I say?
What do I do, baby
Tell me, baby, tell me, baby, just to get next to you? Yeah
Oh, now what do I say?
What do I do
Tell me, baby, just to be next to you?
Oh, baby, what do I say?

[Outro]
Woo, ooh, hoo, hoo, oh baby, what do I say?
