I have been a fan of both Burt Bacharach and Dusty Springfield for as long as I can remember. A truly heartbreaking and emotional song, it is Dusty at her finest. Like so many other people, I've sung this song at the top of my lungs at home or in the car for years! But when not serenading at the traffic lights, I've been incredibly lucky to perform it with some pretty cool people too. One of my favourites was with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra on his Radio 2 show last year. A more surreal moment was at the Royal Albert Hall backed by the London Symphony Orchestra for Mikhail Gorbachev's 80th birthday. I was so happy to sing this classic again and finally have it on record forever on this album.

Lyrics:

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
I'm so used to doing everything with you
Planning everything for two
And now that we're through

I just don't know what to do with my time
I'm so lonesome for you it's a crime
Going to a movie only makes me sad
Parties make me feel as bad
When I'm not with you
I don't know what else to do

Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I just don't know what to do with myself
Don't know just what to do with myself
Baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do

Like a summer rose
It needs the sun and rain
I need your sweet love to beat all the pain

I don't know just what to do with myself
I don't know just what to do with myself
So baby, if your new love ever turns you down
Come on back, I will be around
Just waiting for you
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do
I'm still so crazy for you, no, no, no, no
I don't know what else to do, no, no, no, no
I just don't know what to do
