My life is in a turmoil, My thighs are black and blue My sheets are stained, so is my brain What's a girl to do? Oh what's a girl to do? I passed out with a novel Or needle in my hand I passed out with a rag doll, And I passed out with a man I say my three hail Mary's, I dearly paint my face My friends decay around me And I view them with distaste My life is in a turmoil, My thighs are black and blue My sheets are stained, so is my brain What's a girl to do? Oh what's a girl to do? Well some girls have a mission, And some girls have their work. Some marry with precision; And some just dish the dirt! And once I had a lover, And I once had a profession, And once I laughed at nothing And they called it a depression! I've tried dancing up and down The wrong side of the track And I've walked on the right side, Or just lain here on my back. I think I'll quit while I'm behind, Now that I'm twenty-two. My sheets are stained so is my brain, What's a girl a do? Oh what's a girl to do? My sheets are stained so is my brain, What's a girl a do? Oh what's a girl to do?

Do what you gotta do Come on back, see me when you dream Man, I can understand how it might be Kinda hard to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free I just wanted you to know I've loved you better that your own kin did From the very start it's my own fault What happens to my heart You see I've always known you'd go So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though it may mean that I'll never kiss Those sweet lips again Pay that no mind Find that dappled dream of yours Come on back and see me when you can Now I know it'll make you feel sad And make you feel so bad They say you don't treat me me like you should They got ways to make you feel no good I guess they got no way to know I've had my eyes wide open from the start And man you never lied to me The part of you that they'll never see Is the part you've shown to me So you just do what you gotta do My wild sweet love Though it may mean that I'll never kiss Those sweet lips again Pay that no mind Find that dappled dream of yours Come on back and see me when you can

Oh-oh Oh-ooh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh, yeah Listen I'd be a liar if I told you That I didn't see it coming Be more of a liar if I said "Hey, I didn't want it to be something" You deserve much better For the love that you have shared I know you won't believe it But girl, I swear That I got love for you Big love for you Even when I'm tripping The fact remains that you will always be my baby My baby But dig the truth, baby, dig the truth I can't hide my feelings Especially when the whole world can see That my heart is in two different places I got you in my life and I wanna do right But it's hard to let it go When my love has two different faces And I can't break ties 'cause they both look right Someone tell me, what's a man to do? When he's loving two And he don't wanna lie But he can't tell the truth What's a man to do? When he's loving two But he can't keep his heart In two different places (In two different places) I know you feel it 'cause you stayed There is much more to the story But I'd be a fool to say I trust her and I'm always gonna love her You know that you don't wanna hear How I'm living on the edge, baby So I just say, "Yeah, baby" She ain't nothing but she is real But why take her through it When I still got love for you, big love for you Even when I'm trippin' The fact remains that you will always be my baby My baby But dig the truth, baby, dig the truth I can't hide my feelings Especially when the whole world can see That my heart is in two different places I got you in my life and I wanna do right But it's hard to let it go When my love has two different faces And I can't break ties 'cause they both look right Someone tell me what's a man to do? When he's loving two And he don't wanna lie But he can't tell the truth (He can't tell the truth) What's a man to do? When he's loving two But he can't keep his heart In two different places (Not in two different places) I wanna tell you it's over That I ain't thinking of her I wanna really mean it That I want you to see it That I'm really trying to leave her behind And I'm trying not to make you cry I wanna tell you that I ain't playing games And I'm dedicated to receive a change But when I look in the mirror, it's the same old me That my heart is in two different places I got you in my life and I wanna do right But it's hard to let it go When my love has two different faces (Face) And I can't break ties 'cause they both look right Someone tell me what's a man to do? When he's loving two And he don't wanna lie (Wanna lie) But he can't tell the truth What's a man to do?
