What Would You Do Lyrics

When the world stops loving you
What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?
When your friends stop calling you
What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?

Would you turn and run away, would you?
Would you fight another day, would you?
Would you try to understand?
Would you take it like a man?
What would you do, what could you do, what would you do?

'Coz friends come and friends go
And sometimes you’ve got to stand alone
And that's when you find out
Just who you really are
(Really are)

When the world stops loving you
What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?
When the days bring nothing new
What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?

Would you turn and run away, would you?
Would you fight another day, would you?
Would you try to understand?
Would you take it like a man?
What would you do, what could you do, what would you do?
'Coz friends come and friends go
And sometimes you’ve got to stand alone
And that's when you find out
Just who you really are

(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh)

When the world stops loving you
(Would you turn and run away)
Tell me what would you do?
(Would you fight another day?)
Would you fight another day?

What would you do, baby?
What would you do?
What would you do?
Turn and run away

What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?
What would you do, what would you do, what would you do?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
