Do what you do ‘cos you do it so well
So stand in my way
If only I knew what these eyes could not tell
What this mouth could not say
People are wrong but I’m right this time
I’m losing bad friends fast
Do what you do and keep it that way
And this love will last

Do what you do when your lights are turned down
And you wake up afraid
Think of the love that I have here for you
And the wish will be made
Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do

Waiting to put a foot in the door
Hoping to learn what you’re never sure
Don’t look too far it’s here where you are

Only a cut of the deepest kind
Could break what I hold for you
I know the cut will never be mine
So do what you do
