"I Just Don't Know If I Can" lyrics - LESLEY GORE

What do I do now boy
Now that I know you want to be free
What do I do now boy
Now that I know you're cheatin' on me

I know what you would do
If I did you wrong
I know what I should do
If only I were strong

But I just don't know if I can
No I just don't if I can
I shouldn't love you anymore
But I want you more than before
I shouldn't want you anymore
But I want you more than before
And I just don't know if I can

What do I do now boy
Now that I know you'll never be mine
What do I do now boy
Now that I know I'm wasting my time

If I keep dreaming on
I'd dream my life away
If I should wake right now
I know what I would say

Oh, but I just don't if I can
Oh, I just don't if I can
I shouldn't love you anymore
But I love you more than before
I shouldn't want you anymore
But I want you more than before
And, I just don't know if I can

And, no I just don't know if I can
Oh, I just don't know if I can
Well no I just don't know if I can [Fade]
