[Verse 1: Levi Stubbs and Jean Terrell]
What do have to do to stay on the right side of love?
How can you get more
When you give more than enough? Oh
When I act cold and make you wonder about me
You say I don't care, so you use reverse psychology
Ooh, what am I going to do
To make you love me?

[Chorus: Levi Stubbs and Jean Terrell]
What do you have to do, girl
To stay on the right track
To get love and give love back
What do I have to do, boy?
Your love is a puzzle to me
You're tender and then you're mean
But you'll make love to me

[Verse 2: Mary Wilson and Levi Stubbs]
I gotta be insanе
To keep up with your personality change
But ooh, ooh, I love you
I mеlt like butter
That's why you make me suffer
Knowing how much I love you, now
[Bridge: Levi Stubbs]
Hey, what do you have to do (What do you do?)
To stay on the right side of love (What do you do?)
How can I get more (What do you do?)
When I give more than my share of love (What do you do to you?)
Oh, what am I gonna do to make you love me?

[Chorus: Levi Stubbs and Jean Terrell]
What do you have to do, girl
To stay on the right track
To give love and get love back
What do you have to do, boy?
Your love is a puzzle to me
You're tender and then you're mean

Oh, what do you have to do, girl
To stay on the right track
To give love and get love back
What do you have to do, boy?
Your love is a puzzle to me
You're tender and then you're mean

Oh oh, what do you have to do (Boy)
To stay on the right track
To give love and get love back
What do I have to do, boy?
Your love is a puzzle to me
You're tender and then you're mean
What do you have to do?
