What Must I Do (To Keep You From Crying All the Time)
Words and Music by James Graff
1st VERSE:
I sledghammered for an hour till I rang the bell and won you that four foot pink teddy bear
You said: "It's not big enoug.h"-(the teddy bear right?!?!)
I spent all day preparing and serving a six course steak and lobster dinner for two lit by candlelight
You said: "I'm a vegatarian and this salad sucks"
I wrote a song for you, hired a marriachi band to back me up and now I am underneath your window singing it to you:
CHORUS:
What Must I Do
To make you mine
What Must I Do
To get you to spend more time...with me
2nd VERSE:
You said the marriachis woke up your father
you said "He's got his shotgun, you'd better run! Maybe you can hid in here!"
I spent all day cleaning your apartment and setting up and lighting 300 of your favorite candles
You said: "The smell of all the candles is making me nauseous"
So I carefully laid the pedals from four dozen roses on your bed
You said: "They're making me itch" You can be such a....
Joker sometimes
I quit my job and career singing and playing and touring just so I could be withyou all the time
You Said: "Why are you always hanging around? You're getting on my nerves."
So here I am at the grand opening of our new club I named after you singing your song I dedicated to you:
CHORUS:
What Must I Do
To keep you mine
What Must I Do
To keep you from crying all the time......
3rd/Final VERSE:
You painted my house-the on you bought me
You invited Veronica and Lacey your two bikini model friends and Chastity and Angela your two Playboy Playmate of the year friends over to my place for a hot tub/sleep over party where everyone got drunk except me and all we did was....
It's a four letter word
Ends in K
And means "intercourse"?
TALK!
You got my band and the marriachis signed to a ten year contract with your father's record company
and a tour with Bruce Springsteen, Paul Mc Cartney, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Eagles......all opening up for us!
So here I am tellivised around the world singing this song I wrote for you....
3rd/Final CHORUS
What Must I Do
Now that you're mine
What Must I Do
To keep you from crying all the time
Tears of bliss and joy
And kissing and hugging you ...all the time....
