[Verse 1]
When the need for you is strong
And my strength is almost gone
And lonely rooms are bare
Without you being there
Memories keep haunting me
And of all the way things used to be

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can I do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What shall I do?

[Verse 2]
Every day there's something new
And the changes I go through
I'm seeing roses turning black
Oh boy, I want you back
Look at the road we're travelling down
And I can't see where it's bound
[Chorus]
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can I do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What shall I do?
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
You know the smile upon your face
Used to fill, this empty space
And the happiness we shared
Oh boy, is no longer therе oh no no
What makes these things comе about?
Now how can we sort 'em out?

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can I do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What shall I do?
[Verse 4]
I don't know what to do, boy
I can't live, I can't live without you oh no
Want to look at the road we're travelling down
I can't see where it's bound

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can I do?

[Outro]
I don't know what to do boy
(I don't know what to do boy)
I can't live, I can't live without you oh no no
(What am I gonna do?)
I don't know what to do boy
(I don't know what to do boy)
Wouldn't want it, wouldn't want to live without you oh no no
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?
What can I do?
What am I gonna do, Lord?
What am I, what am I gonna do?
