Lyrics Mark Knopfler

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

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

Ill bring you pipes and drums

Ill bring you books of burnished leather

Ill 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 mens advances

I want you more a hundred-fold

When you lift my heart

Ill burn no other flame

Bear no one elses 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
