I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself

LyricsInformation

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

Performed by The White Stripes
Written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David


Jack:

    "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:

    "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:

    "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."
