What Am I Gonna Do?

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
KNOWING NOW I AM LOSING YOU,
I DON’T WANT YOU TO GO,
MY LIFE FEELS SO LOW,
I’VE GOT AN ACHE IN MY BELLY,
MY LEGS ARE LIKE JELLY,
AFTER ALL THIS TIME,
I THOUGHT I WAS SO GOOD TO YOU,
I SPENT ON YOU MY EVERY SINGLE DIME,
GOT EVERYTHING I THOUGHT WAS GOOD FOR YOU,
SADLY I FIND YOU CAN’T EVEN BE TRUE,
NOW I FEEL SO BLUE,
WHAT AM I TO DO,
DAYS WITHOUT YOU…
LONELINESS WILL BUT ONLY GROW,
MY PAIN I WILL TRY NOT TO SHOW,
FORGETTING YOU WILL BE SLOW,
THEN I CAN ONLY GO WITH THE FLOW.
