"What can I do?" - Lyrics and Music

About the song

For about a year all I had was the first line of the chorus of this song. The song has been reworked more times than i like to think about and some days I'm still not 100% convinced the song is in the right format. The essence of the song is still the same though and hasn't change since that first line of that first chorus - sometimes it doesn't matter how much you tell someone you love them, they just don't belive you.

Lyrics

You and I we feel the same,
So why do we cause us all this pain
Every hour of every day,
every day of every years the same
When I say I love you babe,
I really mean every single word I say
But you just walk away,
and it leaves me wonderin'...

What can I do, to make you, believe, that you're the only one,
The only one in my dreams, the only girl in my songs?
What can I do, do to make you see,
That we were meant to last, that we were meant to be?

Nothin's ever good enough for you
You'll find fault in everyone and everything
Even in a diamond ring,
You'll look hard and find the flaws within
And in our love babe,
You'll find a hairline crack and split it in
Two pieces,
and leave me wondering...

(chorus)
With preconceptions, you'd labelled me before we could begin
From the start to the end, there was no way that I could ever win
Set your prejudices aside, or leave me in the box you put me in
The choice was yours and it left me wonderin'...
(chorus)
