I'll be the first to say I feel ready tonight

But you are miles away, not a lover in sight

I guess I'll hold my breath cuz it's been a long time

You give me love and yet, got a little more on my mind

What's a girl to do?

So deep into you

Alone is never true

Tell me, tell me…What's a girl to do?

The independent life, I've been checkin it out

They get so obvious, things I'm doin without

I'd rather take the bite than never get that close

In the heat of the night this bed can be so cold

What's a girl to do?

So deep into you

Alone is never true

Tell me, tell me…What's a girl to do?

Slip into my lonely clothes

Count the petals on the rose

I can't make this garden grow without you

Bone dry without you

The longer my hands are tied, the more I think about touch

But I won't compromise, I like the best too much

I'm like a hungry child just cryin in the night

Don't leave me runnin wild, don't let this well run dry

What's a girl to do?

So deep into you

Alone is never true

Tell me, tell me…What's a girl to do?
