What'cha Gonna Do About It

The lyrics describe someone openly declaring love and wanting the other person close. Their mood depends strongly on whether the beloved is nearby: togetherness brings happiness, while separation brings sadness. The repeated question, “What’cha gonna do about it?”, turns this confession into a lively appeal for an answer, though the singer never tells us what answer they receive.

Several phrases make the feelings concrete. “When you’re round me” means when you are nearby, and “sad when you’re not there” plainly shows how much the singer misses the person. Asking for “sweet kisses” and to be held “tight” expresses a wish for affection and closeness. “Let me walk you home at night” may suggest care and a desire for more time together, as well as romantic interest.

The song sounds playful and energetic, but its repeated requests also hint at impatience: the singer wants a response and seems eager for the beloved to act. “What’cha gonna do about it?” could be a teasing challenge, a plea for reassurance, or simply an excited refrain. The lyrics do not reveal whether the love is returned, so the question remains open.
