On September 25, 2009 a UK compilation Independent Soul Divas 2 was released on Lola Waxx Records. This compilation album featured “What Do I Do”, a song recorded by Howard in 2008. The album version is different than the version that was originally included on Howard’s MySpace page.
I've got the house, the car and the kids
Life should be perfect
But I'm hurting
Is it worth it to stay
If it's not working?
And I pray every day
That my heart will change
But it stays the same
(And I) Don't wanna walk away
From this life we made
(But I) Can't live this way
I pray I do the right thing 'cause
Damn, I'm so confused
Tell me what do I do
How do I choose? (How much do I lose?)
Do I live for me or you
What do I do? (I don't want stay)
Don't wanna make the wrong (And I don't wanna leave)
Damn, I'm so confused ('Cause I love my family)
It's a struggle every day
'Cause I'm at the crossroads
And truth is I don't know which way to go
Oh no
'Cause this tug of war
Has got me going back and forth
Should I stay or live for me?
Which one's my happy ending?
(I want my happy ending)
Don't wanna walk away (I don't I don't)
From this life we made
(But I) Can't live this way
I pray I do the right thing 'cause (Right thing)
Damn, I'm so confused (I'm so confused)
Tell me what do I do
How do I choose (How much do I lose?)
Do I live for me or you
What do I do? (I don't want stay)
Don't wanna make the wrong (And I don't wanna leave)
Damn, I'm so confused ('Cause I love my family)
Which way do I go? (Which way)
'Cause I really don't know (I go)
I'm searching for an answer that will free my soul
'Cause I don't wanna go (I really don't know)
Down the wrong road
I'm tryna find peace of mind I can't take no more
Damn, I'm so confused (Damn I'm so confused)
Tell me what do I do (What do I do)
How do I choose (How much do I lose?)
Do I live for me or you
What do I do? ('Cause I don't want stay)
Don't wanna make the wrong (And I don't wanna leave)
Damn, I'm so confused ('Cause I love my family)
Ooh ooh ooh
What do I do?
I'm so confused
Let's reset the question
Adina Howard released What Do I Do on Thu Jan 01 2009.
