Do What You Do - Country
Copyright © 2002 Kelli Caldwell
ROUGH A CAPPELLA VERSION!
Do what you do when you do
And while you're doing it
Maybe I can do it too—
Do what you do why you do
And while you're doing it
Maybe I can do it with you—
Do it like you do when you're all alone
And you think nobody's watching
Do it like you do when you do
And if I happen by
Maybe we can give a twosome a try—
Chorus:
Do—what you do—
When you do—it like that
Ooh—what you do—
You ought to—patent it—
Do what you do when you do
And while you're doing it
Maybe I can do it too—
Try what you try when you try
And while you're trying it
Maybe I can try it with you—
Try it like you'd try when the lights low
And you think it hardly matters
Give it all you've got
When you've got a lot to give it
And don't hold back this time—
Chorus 2:
Move—like you move—
Swing—like you swing—
Ooh—what you do—
With a hip, ooh—and a hip, ooh—
Do what you do when you do
And while you're doing it
Maybe I can do it too—
Do what you do why you do
And while you're doing it
Maybe I can do it with you—
Do it like you do when the time is right—
And you feel a little crazy
Do what you do where you do
And if I happen by
Maybe you can let me know—
Move—like you move—
Swing—like you swing—
Ooh—what you do—
With a hip, ooh—and a hip, ooh—
Do what you do when you do (fade out)...
Lyric notes: When I sang this for my mom the first time, she said, "That's nasty!" Yeah. Alright. It's supposed to be about dancing.
