Do It

Nelly Furtado · Loose [2006]

Someone needs to rap off the top.



You're standing at the door

I'm falling to the floor

You look even better than you did before

I'm staring at my feet

Wondering if I can do this

It's been a while but I couldn't forget you



Just a little look has got me feeling things

Just a little touch has got me seeing things

Just a little taste has got me off the chains

Doing things that I don't want to



[chorus:]

Do it like you do it to me (I'm burning up)

Do it like you do it to me (It's not enough)

Do it like you do it to me (Just open up)

Don't you know how much I want you



We're sitting real close and I can feel your breath

I wanna touch your hand but I lay back

'Cause you know this thing could sprial in the night

I've changed my mind I'm ready for you this time



Just a little look has got me feeling things

Just a little touch has got me seeing things

Just a little taste has got me off the chains

Doing things that I don't want to



[chorus:] [2x]

Do it like you do it to me (I'm burning up)

Do it like you do it to me (It's not enough)

Do it like you do it to me (Just open up)

Don't you know how much I want you



We're sitting real close I can feel your breath

I wanna touch your hand but I lay back

We're sitting real close I can feel your breath

I wanna touch your hand I cannot fight it off



[chorus:] [2x]

Do it like you do it to me (I'm burning up)

Do it like you do it to me (It's not enough)

Do it like you do it to me (Just open up)

Don't you know how much I want you

Do It

Do It stands as a vibrant highlight from Nelly Furtado's 2006 album Loose, marking a definitive shift toward a polished pop and R&B sound. Produced by Timbaland, the track captures the energetic collaboration that defined this era of her career, moving away from the folk-inflected introspection of her earlier work. The recording showcases Furtado's versatility, blending rhythmic grooves with her distinct vocal delivery to create an infectious anthem. As part of a commercially successful album, the song reflects the artist's ability to adapt to contemporary production styles while maintaining her unique identity. This work remains a significant song in her discography, illustrating the creative synergy that propelled her to international prominence during the mid-2000s.
