What Do You Do? Lyrics

Well, I never thought I needed much protection from the world

I always felt I got what I deserved

But, lately I've been countin' on my luck to get me by

And I don't think I'll make it through this curve

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the deal falls through

And you're about to get screwed

And they're coming after you?

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the chips are down

And your love's left town

But you're still stuck on how?

So I went to my best friend to ask him for some sage advice

Hopin' to get me out of this mess

He smiled and he said, you know this is all a part of life

You think you passed, but you've just failed the test

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the deal falls through

And you're about to get screwed

And they're coming after you?

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the chips are down

And your love's left town

But you're still stuck on how?

Let's go!

Trouble never seems to pace itself

It likes to ambush all at once

If I could see it comin' my way I'd fare better

But my fortunes wouldn't change that much

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the deal falls through

And you're about to get screwed

And they're coming after you?

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the chips are down

And your love's left town

But you're still stuck on how?

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the deal falls through

And you're about to get screwed

And they're coming after you?

Tell me, tell me

What do you do when the chips are down

And your love's left town

But you're still stuck on

You're still stuck on

You're still stuck on how?
