Lyrics and Music: Mike Scott. I tried to do the things in my own way. I tried to do what people say. but I was going nowhere fast. And now I'm turning to you at last. What do you want me to do. What so you want me to do. What do you want me to do Lord. I can see the lights of home. But I can't get there on my own. I can see the landing strip. But I need you to guide my ship. What do you want me to do. What so you want me to do. What do you want me to do Lord. I've been a fool and I've been a clown. I've let the enemy turn me around. I've wasted love and I've wasted time. I've been proud and I've been blind. There's such a lot of things to change. A whole world to arrange. And if you show me how. I'll begin right now. What do you want me to do. What so you want me to do. What do you want me to do Lord. What do you want me to do Lord. What do you want me to do Lord. "Cause I'm listenin' I'm listenin'. Lord I'm listenin' I'm listenin'.
