The Things You Do - Ray Jessel

No-one does the things you do

The way you do the things you do

How do you do the things you do the way you do?

How can you do the things you?

To him?

To her?

To me?

To you?

To it?

To them?

You don’t care who you do it to

I thought that you would only do the things you do the way you do

To someone who could love you too?

But no, not you

That’s why I’m blue

Yes, I am blue because of you

Because of all the things you do

To anyone who asks you to

Why even those who don’t, you do

And what can I so long as you

Keep doing all the things you do

The way you do the things you do

Keep doing them to you know who

I’d be a fool to say adieu

But that is what I’ll have to do

If you don’t tell me, tell me true

What are these things, these things you do?

As if I knew I too would do these things you do to me, to you

Not just tonight, forever and a day

But Christ don’t get me started

On the things you say or the way you say them
