Lyrics:

Spoken word:

Baby, can I talk to you

I know something's wrong

Things just ain't the same

But deep down inside

I know you still care

So tell me what to do

To get things back again

The way they used to be

If your words have meaning

If you really care about me

Tell me why can't I find love in your heart

If you are my lover

Or come as a friend to me

Tell me why would you turn away from my love

Chorus:

So darlin' tell me what to do

to make things right (3x)

(Tell me what to do to make things right)

If your words have reasons

Then they would turn away from me

Trying hard to hide all truth that you might say

If you listen to me girl

If you know how I'm feeling inside

Then maybe,

you wouldn't shut me

out of your life, baby

Chorus

All I'm asking for is a chance

To let me love you

Girl you know,

with me is where you should be

And if by chance that we should find

That it can be for you and I

Then girl I've tried

I've tried, oh baby

Chorus

Give anything for your love to be

How can I make you mine

Spoken word:

Girl you should know how I feel by now

There are so many ways to love

So just open your heart

And I'll find a way

Can't you see

All I'm asking for is a chance

To let me love you

(Can't you see)

Girl you know,

This is where you should be, ooh,

And if by chance that we should find

That it can be for you and I

Then girl I've tried

I've tried, oh baby

Chorus

(Oh my darlin')

(I need to know)

(I just wanna know how to make things right)

Baby won't you tell me what to do to make things right (2x)

You gotta tell me girl,

You gotta let me know.
