What the Hell by Melodie Yvonne

What the hell do I do when I know there’s nobody else like you?
What the hell do I say when I want you to leave, but I want you to stay?

I know there’s nobody else like you
That’s why I left, why couldn’t you?
When things don’t work you just don’t stay
‘cause all our ends begin to fray

What the hell do I do when I know there’s nobody else like you?
What the hell do I say when I want you to leave, but I want you to stay?

There’s no way you’d know what you have asked
Foolishly I’m took to task
I still don’t know just what to say
But I’m really good at running away

What the hell do I do when I know there’s nobody else like you?
What the hell do I say when you broke all the toys and I don’t wanna play?

I was always the crazy one
You were bright just like the sun
But now I fear that you are near
And who will get us out of here?

What the hell do I do when I know there’s nobody else like you?
What the hell do I say when I want you to leave, but I want you to stay?
What the hell do I do when I know there’s nobody else like you?
What the hell do I say when I just want you to go away?
