What Do I Have to Do Lyrics

[Intro]
Love you, love you
Ah, ah, ah
Love you, love you

[Verse 1]
Don't tell me that it's no use
Love's always been my excuse
Don't tell me it ain't right
My heart is my alibi

[Pre-Chorus]
Only you (You), you (You)
Get me acting crazy
Like I do (Do), do (Do)
You say you can't believe it
But it's true, ooh, ooh
It's true, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
What do I have to do to get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do to get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?

[Verse 2]
There ain't a single night
When I haven't held you tight
But it's always inside my head
Never inside my bed

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's you (You), you (You)
Bringing out the passion
In my soul (Ooh), oh (Ooh)
And I gotta have you
Don't you know? Woah
Don't you know? Woah

[Chorus]
What do I have to do to get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do to get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?

[Bridge]
Love you, love you
Love you, love you
Love you, love you

[Pre-Chorus]
Only you (You), you (You)
Get me acting crazy
Like I do (Do), do (Do)
You say you can't believe it

What do I have to do to get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do to get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?

How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do to get the message through?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do to get it through to you?
How can I prove that I really love you, love you?
What do I have to do?

What has the media said about the song?

On a list of 30 of Kylie Minogue’s best singles, published on September 25, 2020, The Guardian ranked it as Kylie Minogue 12th best single, saying:

Kylie’s third album, Rhythm of Love, was the pinnacle of her Stock Aitken and Waterman years, as strong an argument as there is that those who dismissed the production trio as the embodiment of evil were wrong: What Do I Have to Do is great, a shamelessly pop-facing take on Italo-house.
