Whatcha Gonna Do? Song Lyrics
Whatcha Gonna Do? by Stan Ridgway In my life
By surprise
She arrived
Like a slap across my face
And I never saw the signs
I was strange
Beautiful
Not the same
As the other guys she knows
And she tells them all she’s mine
She says you’re my ambition
I’m yours on one condition
Whatcha gonna do
To make me want you
Say
Whatcha gonna get me
Show me what’s new
Hey
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
My baby holds me tight
But I’m just a ladder
Baby’s movin’ up
I love here so I let her
She says
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
And the lights
Sting my eyes
But to her
It’s a place that she calls home
And the world can come and stay
And we smile
For the crowd
But her touch
Always seems a little cold
It’s the perfect game we play
This surface deep attraction
It’s such a sweet distraction
Whatcha gonna do
To make me want you
Say
Whatcha gonna get me
Show me what’s new
Hey
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
My baby holds me tight
But I’m just a ladder
Baby’s movin’ up
I love here so I let her
She says
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
Fly me to the stars
I’m guilty as you are
Cause I let it go
But I need you so
Whatcha gonna do
To make me want you
Say
Whatcha gonna get me
Show me what’s new
Hey
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
My baby holds me tight
But I’m just a ladder
Baby’s movin’ up
I love here so I let her
She says
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do for me?
