What You Do
Saw you all those years ago, I couldn't look away
Taught my battered heart that it could love another day
On the rebound once again but I was just a pup
An angels' face & devils' heart - you really messed me up
It's what you do
It's what you do
That silly little vandal, remember dumping me for him?
Now you light the candle when he feels like dropping in
but all is fair in love & war even when it's not
'coz then you come here striking when the iron's no longer hot
It's what you do, it's what you do
It's what you do, it's what you do
Wooh, wooh, aagh, aagh.
Every little "friend" you miss was no more than a snog
and every little Prince you kiss turns out to be a frog
I cannot help it, thinking you remind me of that song
that Billy sings of "Sleeping With The Television On"
It's what you do, it's what you do
It's what you do, it's what you do
Wooh, wooh, aagh, aagh.
There's some afraid of death & maybe judgement from above,
some afraid of truthfulness & some afraid of love
Seems you being so beautiful has never done you good
You ran away from happiness like, every time you could
It's what you do, it's what you do
It's what you do, it's what you do
Wooh, wooh, aagh, aagh.
