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
The way they used to be 

If your words have meaning
If you really cared about me
Tell me why can't I find love in your heart
If you were 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
Darlin' tell me what to do to make things right (2x)
For love (tell me what to do to make things right, for love) 

If your words have reason
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 your life, baby 

Chorus 

For love 

#
(Can't you see)
All I'm asking for is a chance
To let me love you
(Can't you see)
Girl you know,
with me is where you should be
And if I chance that we should find
That it can be for you and I
Then girl I've tried
I've tried, oh baby 

Chorus 

Tell me what to do, for love
Give anything for your love to be
Tell me 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 

Repeat # 

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 (let me know)
