Lyrics
WHAT DID I DO
Written by: Howard Delnick
D-G-A
Verse:
IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EV'RY TIME I CRIED FOR YOU
I'D BE DRINKIN' OUT IN VEGAS, INSTEAD OF THIS OLD HOTEL ROOM
AND I'D BE RIDIN' HIGH WITH ALL MY FRIENDS
HAVIN' COCKTAILS AT TWO
BUT THE MORE I TIP THIS BOTTLE UP, THE MORE I THINK OF YOU
Chorus:
AND MORE AND MORE I'M WONDERIN', OH, WHAT DID I DO
TO MAKE YOU LEAVE ME, TELL ME WHAT DID I DO
OH MORE AND MORE I'M WONDERIN', OH WHAT DID I DO
TO MAKE YOU LEAVE ME, TELL ME WHAT DID I DO
Verse:
I CAN'T COUNT THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
I'VE SPENT WAND'RIN' UNDER THE CITY LIGHTS
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO GET OVER YOU
ALTHOUGH I'VE TRIED A THOUSAND TIMES
I JUST CAN'T EASE MY MIND
IT'S BURDENED WITH THE MEMORIES OF YOU
Chorus:
Verse:
I'D LIKE TO THINK WE COULD BE FRIENDS
BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY THE STORY ENDS
IT HURTS TO FIND MY LOVE WAS JUST A WASTE OF TIME
WELL I REALIZE YOU'VE GOT YOUR LIFE
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE GOT MINE
AND WHO'S TO SAY WE'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN
Chorus: (twice)
