         C
Your boyfriend's in the bathroom and
I'm holding your hand
I wonder if he notices the things that I can
 F
You don't even get it, no you don't understand
I want you but I know I'm only one of your friends
C
I know all about you, all your favorite things
I listen to your stories, all your wildest dreams
     F
And you go on for hours, say he's not what you need
 F                                               Dm
You know you're too good for him, but if it were me

                    G7
I'd give you everything (mmm)

Chorus:
               C
So what can I do (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So you feel it too (ooh, ooh, ooh)
      F
Cause I just want to say it, but I'm scared if I do
You weren't looking at me the way I look at you
           C
What can I do (ooh, ooh, ooh)
So you feel it too (ooh, ooh, ooh)
     F
I'd rather keep on lying than to tell you the truth
So I'll be here forever wondering what can I,
            C
what can I do

I'm sorry, but I'm picturin' you kissin' my neck
You comin' over late at night to be in my bed
'Cause I swear that you feel it,
but then I second guess
I don't know if you see us how I do in my head

I'd give you everything, hmm

Chorus:
So what can I do? (What can I do?) Ooh-ooh
So you feel it too? (You feel it too?) Ooh-ooh
'Cause I just wanna say it, but I'm scared if I do
You ain't lookin' at me the way I look at you
So what can I do? (What can I do?) Ooh-ooh
So you feel it too? (You feel it too?) Ooh-ooh
I'd rather keep on lyin' than to tell you the truth
So I'll be here forever wonderin' what can I,
 what can I do?

What can I do?
You feel it too?
What can I say?
Are, are you?
Are, are you?
