[English]

I just don't know what to do with myself

...

I don't know what to do with myself

Planning everything for two

Doing everything with you

And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do

I just don't know what to do with myself

I don't know what to do with myself

Movies only make me sad

Parties make me feel as bad

Cause I'm not with you

I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose

Needs the sun and rain

I need your sweet love

To feel all the way

Well, I don't know what to do with myself

Just don't know what to do with myself

Planning everything for two

Doing everything with you

And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do

Like a summer rose

Needs the sun and rain

I need your sweet love

To feel all the way

I just don't know what to do with myself

I just don't know what to do with myself

I just don't know what to do with myself

I don't know what to do with myself

...
