Stephen Stills - What to Do lyrics

Makin' it hard on yourself

Makin' it hard on me

Makin' it hard on you

...Its all the same (Profound Stevie, profound)

yellow and... ]

All we got left is a song

[which has another... ]

chorus --

[complete with handlebar mustache.]

When you decide that you'd like to know

What it is that makes a person go

When you decide you believe and you're trustin'

Let somebody open your soul

chorus --

[Then you might notice an outtasite fiddle solo that

also runs around a little but Byron Berline is too good

a fiddler to be hampered by little knobs and crazy

people in the studio...and of course we have our final

(I promise)... ]
