I don’t know if “What Do I Have to Do” by Stabbing Westward is specifically about a stalker, but the lyrics (and the creepy quiet-loud industrial-type music) make it sound like, in the right context, it could be: _I know exactly what you’re thinking but I swear this time I will not let you down I’m not as selfish as I used to be that was a part of me that never made me proud right now I think I would try anything anything at all to keep you satisfied God I hope you see what losing you would do to me all I want is one more chance, tell me what do I have to do…_ ---

_What’ll you do about me._ I first heard it performed by Randy Travis and has been recorded by several country artists including the Forrester Sisters. Some lines: All you wanted was a one-night stand, the fire of the wine and the touch of a man, but I fell in love and ruined all your plans, now what’ll you do about me. What in the world are you gonna do when some guy comes over to visit with you and I’m on the porch with a 2 by 2, now what’ll you do about me. ---
