Question
Sir alam mo ba kung sino ang kumanta ng song na What Can I Do?  Not so sure with the title, it's like an old skool slow rock. At yung song na Pintig ng Puso na madalas na kantahin ng mga GRO sa mga karaoke bars. If you have the copy of the songs would you mind sharing it to me. Thanks in advance!

Answer
Dear Noel,

WHAT CAN I DO is a song by the English rock band SMOKIE from their 1976 album MIDNIGHT CAFE. Sorry I don't have the other song. Here's its lyrics:

WHAT CAN I DO / SMOKIE

Every dream that I dream
Seems to float on by
Like a cloud in the wind
Way up in the sky
Every move that I make
Seems to be the wrong way
Like a cold black night
After a summer day

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

You still play my guitar
With a smile on my face
Now everything's changed
My whole life's rearranged
From the day I was born
Sidle Jinks was my name
Though I tried and I tried
That name still remains

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
Nothing to say but it used to be
What can I do

What can I do
What can I do
What can I do
What can I do

I hear voices all singing
But no one is there
It's a ghost of my life
Bringing past tense to mind
Lokin' key inside me
From the freedom and sin
Oh come let me in
I'll start all over again

What can I do
What can I do
Nothing to say but it used to be
No no no no no no no no no
What can I do
What can I do
What

Maraming salamat po!!
