I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

Lyrics

I just don't know what to do with myself

I just don't know what to do with myself

I'm so used to doing everything with you

Planning everything for two

And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time

I'm so lonesome for you, it's a crime

Going to a movie only makes me sad

Parties make me feel as bad

When I'm not with you

I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose needs the sun and rain

I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself

I just don't know what to do with myself

Baby, if your new love ever turns you down

Come back, I will be around

Just waiting for you

I don't know what else to do

Don't know what else to do

I don't know what else to do

I'm still so crazy for you

Oh, oh, oh
