What's a Girl to Do - Fatima Yamaha

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?

We walked arm in arm But I didn't feel his touch A desire I'd first tried to hide That tingling inside was gone And when he asked me "Do you still love me?" I had to look away I didn't want to tell him That my heart grows colder with each day When you've loved so long that the thrill is gone And your kisses at night are replaced with tears And when your dreams are on a train to trainwreck town Then I ask you now, "What's a girl to do?" He said he'd take me away That we'd work things out And I didn't want to tell him But it was then I had to say Over the times we've shared It's all blackened out And my bat-lightning heart Wants to fly away When you've loved so long that the thrill is gone And your kisses at night are replaced with tears And when your dreams are on a train to trainwreck town Then I ask you now, "What's a girl to do?" What's a girl to do? Ha-ha What's a girl to do? Ha-ha What's a girl to do? Ha-ha Ha-ha

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? (To do) When he's loving two But he can't keep his heart In two different places (Not in two different places) Not in two different places

You must understand though the touch of your hand Makes my pulse react That it's only the thrill of a boy meeting girl Opposites attract It's physical, only logical You must try to ignore that it means more than that oh oh oh What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love, but a second hand emotion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart? When a heart can be broken It may seem to you that I'm acting confused When you're close to me If I tend to look dazed, I've read it someplace I've got cause to be There's a name for it There's a phrase that fits But whatever the reason you do it for me oh oh oh What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love, but a second hand emotion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart? When a heart can be broken Oh, yeah! A-ha! I've been taking on a new direction But I have to say I've been thinking about my own protection It scares me to feel this way oh oh oh What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love, but a second hand emotion What's love got to do, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken What's love got to do, got to do with it What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion What's love, got to do with it Who needs a heart when a heart can be broke What's love, ooh got to do with it What's love, whats love What's love, whats love
