what have i got to do

Singer:knopfler, mark

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

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 out a lion heart tattoo

i'll bring you pipes and drums

i'll bring you books of burnished leather

i'll set to sea in ships for you

brave a thousand runs

ride a hurricane

laugh at any stormy weather

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

you set no store by gems and gold

you scorn 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

bear no one else's lances

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

to win your love

forever
