[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
[Verse 1]
Girl, you’ve done me wrong
Now you’re running back to me
Thought you were my lady, girl, you drove me crazy
Now you want the world to see
[Verse 2]
You must think I’m crazy
Please, don’t think I’m blind
Don’t want to dig your line
Even though I still love you
Always thinking of you
You better believe, I got my pride
[Pre-Chorus]
Sooner or later, love is gonna get you
(Sooner or later)
Somehow I knew, I knew it would get you
(Love was gonna get you)
Girl, why you do me like this?
You know I still love you
Check it out
[Chorus]
What’cha gonna do about it?
Girl, what’cha gonna do?
You know you’ve done me wrong
I’m still in love with you
What’cha gonna do about it?
Can’t get you out of my mind
Every time I see you, this happens all the time
[Verse 3]
Girl, you made me laugh
Girl, you used to make me cry
Give me plenty of loving, kissing and a hugging
And that I can’t deny
[Pre-Chorus]
Sooner or later, love is gonna get you
(Sooner or later)
Somehow I knew, I knew it would get you
(Love was gonna get you)
Listen, I know you still love me
I can see it all over your face
So what’s up?
[Chorus]
What’cha gonna do about it
Girl, what’cha gonna do?
You know you’ve done me wrong
I’m still in love with you
What’cha gonna do about it?
Can’t get you out of my mind
Every time I see you, this happens all the time
What’cha gonna do about it
Girl, what’cha gonna do?
You know you’ve done me wrong
I’m still in love with you
What’cha gonna do about it?
Girl, I’ve got to know
‘Cause I’m still in love with you
Girl, you are my star
Make me want to play my guitar
[Outro]
What’cha gonna do about it?
What’cha gonna do about it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
[Verse 1]
Girl, you’ve done me wrong
Now you’re running back to me
Thought you were my lady, girl, you drove me crazy
Now you want the world to see

Please, don’t think I’m blind
Don’t want to dig your line

Somehow I knew, I knew it would get you
