That's right, Brian Wilson ... and Burt Bacharach. And me!
Burt called me up one day and said,
"Hey, I'm gonna write a song with Brian Wilson for the first time.
Want to write the lyric?"
"Gee Burt, let me think about that and get back to youYes."
If you're interested, check out the photo of Burt and Brian
sharing a piano bench as we wrote it. It's in the "gallery" menu.

Lyrics

WHAT LOVE CAN DO
(Burt Bacharach/Brian Wilson?Tonio K.)

SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT
TELL ME IT’S REAL
I NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THE WAY I FEEL…
FEELS LIKE I’M FLYIN’ HERE
NO TIME FOR CRYIN’ HERE
CAN’T HELP BUT SMILIN’ HERE …
IS IT YOU?
IS IT TRUE?
IS IT LOVE?

IT’S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME
MY WHAT AWORLD
THERE’S TROUBLE EVERYWHERE
I’M SURE YOU’VE HEARD …
THIS MUST BE WHAT THEY MEAN
LOVE CONQUERS EVERYTHING
TELL ME IT’S NOT A DREAM
SAY IT’S TRUE
SAY IT’S YOU
SAY IT’S LOVE … AND

*YOU AND I ARE GONNA BE TOGETHER
EVERYDAY
IT’S GETTING BETTER
(‘CAUSE) YOU AND I HAD GIVEN UP ON LOVE / BUT
PEOPLE CHANGE
SO DON’T SAY NEVER …
AND IF YOU EVER NEED THE PROOF
JUST LOOK AT ME AND YOU
LOOK AT WHAT LOVE CAN DO …

GOD HELP ME GET IT RIGHT
SHOW US THE WAY
IT’S GONNA LAST THIS TIME
NOT FADE AWAY
I KNOW I COULD BE WRONG
OH, BUT I KNOW I’M NOT
THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE’VE GOT
‘CAUSE IT’S TRUE
‘CAUSE IT’S YOU
‘CAUSE IT’S LOVE … AND (TO CHORUS)

*YOU AND I ARE GONNA BE TOGETHER
EVERYDAY
KEEPS GETTING BETTER
AND YOU AND I HAD GIVEN UP ON LOVE / BUT
PEOPLE CHANGE
SO DON’T SAY NEVER …
AND IF THEY EVER NEED THE PROOF
JUST LOOK AT ME AND YOU
LOOK AT WHAT LOVE CAN DO …

(SOLO)

… FEELS LIKE I’M FLYIN’ HERE
NO TIME FOR CRYIN’ HERE
CAN’T HELP BUT SMILIN’ HERE …
‘CAUSE IT’S TRUE
AND IT’S YOU
AND IT’S LOVE …

YOU’VE GOT TO HELP ME OUT
TELL ME IT’S REAL …
