Lyrics
There's Nothing You Can Do
There's nothing you can do.
There's nothing you can say.
When love gets hold of you,
you just can't get away.
A woman and a man -
it's all part of a plan.
There's nothing you can do.
There's nothing you can do -
no need to even try --
when she says she loves you
and waits for your reply.
It's all part of a scheme
that's programmed in our genes.
There's nothing you can do.
So don't try to fight it
when those tender feelings start.
You might as well accept it
and surrender to your heart.
And in a little while
when your kids are grown
and having little ones of their own,
you'll be amazed at what love's done for you.
There's nothing you can do.
There's no place you can go.
Nothing else you'll find
will satisfy your soul.
It's love that matters most.
There's nothing even close.
There's nothing you can do.
