Lyrics
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, uh-huh
There's something wrong with you and me
When more than one adds up to three
Don't over-reason, but the fact is plain to see, uh-huh
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
It's a love you will feel, 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, uh-huh
Tell me why and I'll try to understand
'Cause I could 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
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
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 (when you do it)
Do it and do it with love
(When you do what you do, it don't mean a thing)
Don't mean a thing (when you do it)
Do it (when you do it)
Gotta do it with love
(When you do what you do, it don't mean a thing)
Don't mean a thing (when you do it)
Do it (when you do it)
Gotta do it with love
(When you do what you do, it don't mean a thing)
Don't mean a thing (when you do it)
Do it (when you do it)
Gotta do it with love
