WHAT ELSE COULD I DO

(Curtis Wright - Robert Ellis Orrall)

Lately I've been living with my heart on the mend
Last thing I wanted was to try love again
But then you backed me up against the wall
Next thing I knew, I was takin' the fall

Chorus
I wasn't lookin' to jump into love
But I had no choice when your push came to shove
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I fell for you
Tell me what else could I do

Boy when I saw you I looked the other way
He could be trouble's what I heard myself say
When my resistence hit an all time low
Guess your persistence just wouldn't let me go

Chorus

My momma told me girl it's guaranteed
Love hits you first when it's the last thing you need
Somebody tell me this is one of my dreams
No way that boy can be as good as he seems

Chorus

Tell me what else could I do
