What Do I Do Now? Lyrics - Sleeper

Quickly she came dressed up for fame 

Riding her perfume downstairs 

Make-up like glue she danced round the room 

To the sound of her corduroy flares 

Lets go to town taxis all round 

We could stop for a couple of beers 

He looks at it all stifles a yawn 

She tries not to look like she cares 

What do I do now? Are we going under? 

What did I do wrong? I thought we had it sorted 

Out the other day, maybe I'm just stupid 

Can't we try again? 

No-one told me it was raining 

Can't face a club they walk to a nearby pub 

Watch a couple of bands, draining the glass 

They walk home at last, reaching for each others hands 

Nothing is said he goes to bed 

Dreaming of her on his own 

She stays up all week, watching him sleep 

Scared that she'll wake up alone 

Oh I'll miss you every day of your life 

Oh you'll feel it too, you're not that strong 

You know I'm on to you 

Oh I'll miss you every day of your life 

And maybe when you're dead 

I'll get some rest from holding on to you 

What do I do now then? Are we going under? 

What did I do wrong? I thought we had it sorted 

Is there someone else? Or am I too familiar? 

Was it when I said I wanted to have children? 

Tore up all your photos, didn't feel too clever 

Spent the whole of Sunday sticking you together 

Now I'd like to call you but I feel too awkward 

Some things need explaining 

No-one told me it was raining
