Lyrics
WHAT ON EARTH (J. Rounds, C. Wood)
There's a west wind blowin' straight out to sea
I can feel you driftin' away from me
It ain't my place to tell you, baby
All you stand to lose
Whatever you choose, remember
YOU OWN THIS HEART OF MINE
GOOD LOVE IS HARD TO FIND
BABY WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU LOOKIN' FOR
I KNOW YOUR EVERY SIGH AND EVERY FROWN
EVERY DREAM WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
BABY WHAT ON EARTH
ARE YOU LOOKIN' FOR
Never had a reason to give so much
But I'd walk through fire
Just to save this love
Even if you want to
Baby don't don't decide tonight
Give it till the light
And remember,
(CHORUS)
Not a day goes by
I don't wonder why
You can't feel the way I do
