What You Do


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.
