What You Gonna Do (A song?)

When this life gets you down.
Women come and go and put you down.
When they don't have time for you.
Tell me what the heck you're gonna do.

How many times can one woman put you down.
Could I let her go and look around.
And I was just wondering why I take it so personally.
Should I want to be with a woman that doesn't want to be with me.
Now I'm singing why must I so desperately
hang onto a woman running away from me.

When a girl tells you it's just not cool.
She feels out of place and uncomfortable,
why not just say farewell, kiss her goodbye
and wish her well.

And now I'm singing why can't I just let her be
and let what will be will be.
Girl if you don't want my company
hit the road I set you free.
Girl if you don't want to be around
other women are in this town.
Girl if you don't really care
why should I waste my time being there.

When a woman figures out you're not her soulmate why pout and cry.
She's the only one who can see who she likes and know the reasons why.
If you're not her ideal romance tell her thanks for trying and thanks for the chance.

Girl I could have loved you for a thousand years.
Now I feel unneeded and I'm out of here.
Girl I would have given you all of my time
but not any more now it's cruisin time.
And now I'm singin thank you for the chance.
My life needed a little romance.
And now I really must say goodbye.
Thank you for the lovely try.

Why be lonely just look around.
Beautiful women can be found.
They are looking just like you.
When they grab you what the heck you gonna do.
And I was just thinking do I really care to be
with a woman that doesn't care for me.
How far will this pain flow til I say the
proper goodbyes and let her go.
Everything is up to you.
What the heck you gonna do?

Sounds like a hit to me!

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.
