What I Have To

I think you're real groovy, baby

You think I am dumb and lazy

Maybe I will show you how well

I can write a song

That's how the guys all get the ladies

Don’t they? Or does it work the other way?

Maybe I should just find better things to say

I do what I have to

I do it to have you

Here's a game that we can play

Where we try to find

Single solid reason why

I’ve gone and lost my mind

Hey, how bout this way?

I drank the kool-aid

I thought that it would make me cool enough for your taste

Or less of a fool enough to say: No, thanks

But I do what I have to

I do it to have you

My infatuation's fading

Chemically more sound

Pulse is slowing, vision clearing

I'm getting it now

Then I somehow make you smile

And it's like I won a prize at the carnival

Red lights flashing, head back in the clouds
