lyrics

I don't know what to do with you, Joe.
I've been loving you all of these years.
And the moments all go by so slow
when I think of the joy and the love and the tears.

I don't know what to do with you, Joe.
When we're friends I can't help but want more.
And when we're out of touch, I still miss you so much,
and I wonder what the hell I'm still doing this for.

And I sure as hell won't have your babies.
And I don't wanna be someone's wife.
And when it comes to love, I can't say it comes easy.
I don't know what I need, except you in my life.

I've got some big plans and I've got a career.
And I'm pining for you darlin, year after year.
I want you to stay and I want you to go.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe.

(Instrumental)

I tried thinking 'bout work, I tried sleeping around.
I tried writing a song, I tried leaving town.
My brother said, "Don't waste your love on that man."
So I tried to forget you the best that I can.

Cuz you never asked me to love you,
So maybe it's all in my head.
Maybe I'm just taking orders
from the voice in my gut that wants you in my bed.

I'm tired of thinking 'bout you every night,
or when I'm feeling cold, or when the chord is just right.
I'm tired of feeling like I oughta know.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe.

And if you ever loved me, then please tell me so.
I don't know what to do with you, Joe.
