Lyrics
- When we met you promised me your love
I was all that you were thinking of
But as my love grew a change came over you
You started playing, that’s why I’m saying
Chorus
What’ll I have to do to make you care
What’ll I have to do to do my share
What’ll I do to make you want me
What did I do to make you haunt me
I’m simply crazy about you
And you know it, too
Why don’t you play this love game on the square
Now that I need you most you’re never there
You took my heart from me
But you kept your heart free
What’ll I have to do to make you care
- Love was never meant to live a day
We should keep it when it comes our way
I’m so used to you, I don’t know what to do
You’ve got me pleading, it’s you I’m needing
