Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Baby, can I talk to you?

I know something's wrong

Things just ain't the same

But deep down inside

I know you still care

So tell me what to do to get things back

The way they used to be

[Verse 2]

If your words had meaning

If you really cared about me

Tell me why can't I find love in your heart

If you were my lover

A constant friend to me

Tell me why

Would you turn away from my love

[Verse 3]

So darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right for love

Tell me what to do to make things right for love (For love)

[Verse 4]

If your words have reason

When they won't turn away from me

They're trying hard to hide all truth they might say

If you listen to me girl

If you know how I'm feeling inside

Then maybe you wouldn't shut me out your life, baby

[Verse 5]

So darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right for love

Tell me what to do to make things right for love (For love)

[Verse 6]

Can't you see?

All I'm asking for is a chance to let me love you

Can't you see?

Girl, you know with me is where you should be

And if by chance we should find that it can be for you and I

Then girl I'll try

I'll try

Oh baby

[Verse 7]

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right

Tell me what to do to make things right for love

Girl, you should know how I feel by now

There's so many ways to love

So just open your heart

And I'll find the way

[Verse 8]

Can't you see?

All I'm asking for is a chance to let me love you

Can't you see?

Girl, you know this is where

[Verse 9]

You should be, ooh

And if by chance we should find that it can be for you and I

Then girl I'll try

I'll try

Oh baby

[Verse 10]

Darlin' (You're my darlin')

Tell me what to do to make things right?

I need to know

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right?

Darlin'

Tell me what to do to make things right?

Tell me what to do to make things right for love

Baby, won't you tell me what to do to make things right?

Tell me what to do to make things right

Baby, won't you tell me what to do to make things right?

You are gonna tell me girl

You are gonna sell me, girl

You are gonna let me know

Baby, won't you tell me what to do to make things right?
