What Would You Do
by: Laura IziborWould you do, anything I wanna do
I want to believe in you, oh baby
Would you go, anywhere I wanna go
Around the world and back home, oh baby
And would you say all the words I need to hear
Or be there always, baby far or near
Or would you die for me, cry for me
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oh, what would you do, my baby
(Thanks to victoriamarie25 for the lyrics)
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Leave it all and run away tonight
Oh, what would you do
I'd do, anything you want me to
'Cause baby I'm in love with you, oh sugar
I'd go, anywhere you wanna go
'Cause there's no other place I
Said I'd rather be, oooh
And would you say all the words I need to hear
Be there always, baby far or near
Oh, would you die for me, cry for me
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oooh, what would you do, my baby
(Thanks to victoriamarie25 for the lyrics)
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Leave it all and run away tonight
Oooh, what would you do
What would you do, what would you say
If it all came tumbling down, yeah
How could I rely on you to keep my feet on the ground, yeah
And when there's nothing left but just you and me, oooh
Could the love we had set us free
Oh, would you die for me, cry for me
Unlock the chains and set me free
Oh, what would you do, my baby
(Thanks to victoriamarie25 for the lyrics)
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Leave it all and run away tonight
Oh, what would you do, my baby
And would you die for me, cry for me
(And would you die, and baby cry)
Unlock the chains and set me free
(And baby fight, oooh oooh)
Oooh, what would you do, my baby
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
(And fight, what's right)
Leave it all and run away tonight
(Run away tonight)
Oooh, what would you do
(My baby)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
And would you die for me, cry for me
(And would you die, baby cry)
Unlock the chains and set me free
(And baby fight, oooh oooh)
Oooh, what would you do, my baby
(Thanks to victoriamarie25 for the lyrics)
Would you stand and fight and do what's right
Leave it all and run away tonight
(Run away tonight)
Oooh, what would you do
