Information

I just don't know what to do with myself I don't know what to do with myself planning everything for two doing everything with you and now that we're through I just don't know what to do I just don't know what to do with myself I don't know what to do with myself movies only make me sad parties make me feel as bad cause I'm not with you I just don't know what to do like a summer rose needs the sun and rain I need your sweet love to beat love away well I don't know what to do with myself just don't know what to do with myself planning everything for two doing everything with you and now that we're through I just don't know what to do like a summer rose needs the sun and rain I need your sweet love to beat love away I just don't know what to do with myself just don't know what to do with myself just don't know what to do with myself I don't know what to do with myself [Burt Bacharach / Hal David / Dusty Springfield 's version] I just don't know what to do with myself Don't know just what to do with myself I'm so used to doing everything with you Planning everything for two And now that we're through I just don't know what to do with my time I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime Going to the movie only makes me sad Parties make me feel as bad When I'm not with you I just don't know what to do Like a summer rose It needs the sun and rain Oh, I need your sweet love To beat all the pain I just don't know what to do with myself I just don't know what to do with myself Baby, if your new love ever turns you down Come back, I will be around Just waiting for you I don't know what else to do Like a summer rose It needs the sun and rain Oh, I need your sweet love To beat all the pain I don't know just what to do with myself I don't know just what to do with myself Baby, if your new love ever turns you down Come on back, I will be around Just waiting for you I don't know what else to do, no, no, no I don't know what else to do I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no I don't know what else to do, no, no, no I'm still so crazy for you

Performed by The White Stripes Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, originally performed by Dusty Springfield Releases Elephant Fell in Love With a Girl I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself 7"/CD/DVD Quotes Jack White: "The recording we did of that is the best recording of a cover song we've ever done. It's really just a blues song in its purest form." Jack White: "This was meg's baby. Definitely Dusty's version. I think it's one of the best recordings we've made. I like my singing on this. It's mellowed. When the first album was done I got a lot of people saying 'Robert Plant' That just hurt my feelings. The one member of Led Zeppelin I didn't really care about." Jack White: "No, we haven't [heard from Burt Bacharach and Hal David]. I am not sure they know about that yet. Possibly when the album comes out we will get a note or something. Meg wanted to do that one. It was one of her favourites of Bacharach. We were coming off the back of the Dusty Springfield version. We started to play it live and started to make it our own. I like the idea of keeping someone's songs alive for the next generation if we can." Sofia Coppola: "I said, 'I don't know -- how about Kate Moss doing a pole dance?' I said that because I would like to see it. That's the way I work: I try to imagine what I would like to see." Notes recorded at Maida Vale Studios, London 2002 The Video was directed by Sofia Coppola and features Kate Moss pole dancing.
