What's a Fella Gotta Do Lyrics

I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble
Buried alive beneath my life's rubble
I'll tell you what's really makin' me sad
Your disinterest is drivin' me mad

You're so fine
If you were mine, I'd love you up
Give me a sign, my darling
Well, I can shine if you'd just let me now

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

I'm so tired of feelin' I could be more
I need a purpose; what am I for?
What I'd like, after close inspection
Is for you to look in my direction

You're so fine
If you were mine, I'd love you up
Give me a sign, my darling
Well, I can shine if you'd just give it up

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

I'm so bored, I'd welcome a disaster
Anything to make the heart beat faster
But I got a feeling (You're so fine)
We could be so right
Make my day (If you were)
I'll make your night

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do (You're so fine)
To spend a little time with you? (If you were mine)
What's a fella gotta do (Give me a sign)
To spend a little time with you? (Well, I can shine)
What's a fella gotta do (I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble)
To spend a little time with you? (Buried alive beneath my life's rubble)
What's a fella gotta do (I'll tell you what's really makin' me sad)
To spend a little time with you? (Your disinterest is drivin' me mad)
What's a fella gotta do (I'm so tired of feelin' I could be more)
To spend a little time with you? (I need a purpose; what am I for?)
What's a fella gotta do (What I'd like is after close inspection)
To spend a little time with you? (Is for you to look in my direction)

Cover art for What's a Fella Gotta Do lyrics by Eels

Something about this song, it's that neo-sixties-ish style, and Mr. Everett's gruffness works so very well here, it ALL works so well here. It's perfect.

But I got a feeling we could be so right, Make my day I'll make your night.

I've enjoyed Eels' past lyrics a whole lot, but those on this album (like these) strike me as being especially tight (succinct).
