Do What You Do
Tina Turner · Wildest Dreams
When you say the things you say you gotta mean it
and when you do the things you do, it's gotta come from the heart
Something's gone, I can't explain
The heat is missing from the plain
can't deny it, as I wrench this from the chain...uhuh
There's something wrong with you and me
when more than one adds up to three
don't overreason, but the fact is plain to see...uhuh
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
it's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away
When you do what you do that you do to me
don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
when you do what you do without love, without love
I'm gonna paint a picture of you,
The only colour I need is blue
You gotta love, baby you know it's true...uhuh
Tell me why and I'll try to understand
that you cry when you do what you do to me
don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
when you do what you do without love....aaaahhhh
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
it's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away
When you do what you do that you do to me
don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
Then you know it's a crime that you kill me up
when you do what you do without love, without love
Don't know what you doin', what you doin' without love
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
(don't mean a thing....do, do it with love)
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
(don't mean a thing....do it, gotta do it with love)
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
(don't mean a thing....do it, gotta do it with love)
and when you do the things you do, it's gotta come from the heart
Something's gone, I can't explain
The heat is missing from the plain
can't deny it, as I wrench this from the chain...uhuh
There's something wrong with you and me
when more than one adds up to three
don't overreason, but the fact is plain to see...uhuh
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
it's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away
When you do what you do that you do to me
don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
when you do what you do without love, without love
I'm gonna paint a picture of you,
The only colour I need is blue
You gotta love, baby you know it's true...uhuh
Tell me why and I'll try to understand
that you cry when you do what you do to me
don't you know that it ain't enough
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing

when you do what you do without love, without love
Don't know what you doin', what you doin' without love

(don't mean a thing....do, do it with love)
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
(don't mean a thing....do it, gotta do it with love)
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
(don't mean a thing....do it, gotta do it with love)
