You have probably heard this song done by Boz Scaggs and Bonnie Raitt, but did you know it was actually written by Allen Toussaint? We were lucky enough to have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee play it for us in our studios on June 1. Enjoy!

Lowell George - What Do You Want the Girl To Do (Thanks I'll Eat It Here LP)
Lyrics by Allen Toussaint
So you, you think the world looks crazy
And eats up your lies
Like it's good for her
Like apple pies
And she don't even cry
She is not a fool
She's just tryin' to do
What her heart says to
(To love you)
To love you
As you take to the wind
(To the wind again, my friend)
As she breaks down within
(Within, within, within)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that one day you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do
All she really wants is you
She knows what you are
Still she'll be your queen
You say the words today
And build your world around her
Now and then you'll promise
All the way-out things you're goin' to get her
(You will see, you will be)
(So damn glad you found her)
(Free to go)
As she watched you come and go
(For your show)
And as she watched your promises erode
(Erode, erode, erode)
She waits for you patiently
Hopin' that someday you'll see
All she really wants to be
Is yours and yours alone, eternally
What do you want the girl to do, whoa
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do, whoa
When all she really wants to be
Yours eternally
What do you want the girl to do
Don't you know you're breakin' the child in two
What do you want that girl to do
All she really wants is you
