[Intro: Kevin]
Baby, can I talk to you?
I know something's wrong
Things just are not 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 1: Brian]
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?

[Chorus: All & Brian]
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

[Verse 2: Brian]
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

[Chorus: All & Brian]
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)

[Bridge: Brian & All]
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 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

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Darlin', tell me what to do
To make things right
Darlin', tell me what to do
To make things right, darlin', yeah
Tell me what to do to make things right for love
Tell me what to do to you for love
I'd give anything for your love
Tell me how can I make it right

[Interlude: Kevin]
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

[Reprise: Brian & All]
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 you should be
And if by chance that we should find
That it can be for you and I
Then, girl, I'll try
I'll try, oh, baby

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Darlin'
Tell me what to do to make things right
I need to know, darlin'
Tell me what to do to make things right
I wanna know
Just how to make things a little better
Darlin', tell me what to do
To make things right for love
Tell me what to do for love
Tell me what to do to you for love
I'll do anything, oh yeah

Backstreet Boys

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
