[Verse 1]
I guess you wonder where I've been
I searched to find a love within
[Refrain]
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
[Verse 2]
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
[Refrain]
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
Some people go around the world for love
But they may never find what they dream of
[Chorus]
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything, but you don't give up
In my world, only you
Make me do for love what I would not do
[Verse 3]
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well, I'm in a daze from your love, you see
[Refrain]
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you and I can't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
And though I only want the best, it's true
I can't believe the things I do for you
[Chorus]
What you won't do, do for love
You've tried everything, but you won't give up
In my world, only you
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
Make me do for love what I would not do
