Christopher Hall can speak for me tonight.

I was 11 years old when I first heard the Stabbing Westward album, "Wither Blister Burn & Peel" which contained the single, "What Do I Have to Do?" It was a great song on a great album. I subsequently ended up becoming a much more serious fan of this band afterwards. Tonight, Christopher Hall can speak for me. There's no point in getting into a long winded rant. His lyrics sum it all up just fine.


                                      

You make it hard to breathe
It's as if I'm suffocating
And when you're next to me
I can feel your heartbeat through my skin
It makes me sad to think
This all could be for nothing
I wish there was a way
For you to see inside of me
I've never felt this way
About anyone or anything
Tell me..

What do I have to do to make you happy?
What do I have to do to make you understand?
What do I have to do to make you want me?
And, if I can't make you want me
What do I have to do?

I know exactly what you're thinking
But I swear this time I will not let you down
I'm not as selfish as I used to be
That was a part of me that never made me proud
Right now I think I would try anything
Anything at all to keep you satisfied
God I hope you see what loving you would do to me
All I want is one more chance, so tell me...

What do I have to do to make you happy?
What do I have to do to make you understand?
What do I have to do to make you want me?
And, if I can't make you want me
Just tell me, tell me!

How can I..how can I..how can I..

What do I have to do to make you want me?
What do I have to make you understand?
What do I have to do to make you love me?
And, if I can't make you love me
Just tell me what do I have to do, to forget about you?
