Mark Knopfler
"What Have I Got To Do"


Now if I was to sing for you
A song you never heard
And give it to you my finest treasure
Would you look at what I bring to you
Turn without a word
Leave me at your gate
Keep me waiting at your pleasure

Chorus:
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever

Well I'll beat a lion heart tattoo
I'll bring you pipes and drums
I'll bring you boots of burnished leather
I'll set to sea in ships for
Brave a thousand drums
Ride a hurricane
Laugh at any stormy weather

Chorus

You set no store by gems and gold
You score on my weather chart
You are not concerned with men's advances
I want you more a hundred-fold
When you lift my heart
I'll burn no other flame
Hear no one else's answer

Chorus

To win your love
Forever
