You can write the next line, baby you've been wasting time
We can make our bodies rhyme, our lives intertwine
And if you've gone cold, you don't let it show
There's a deeper place that we can both go
You tell me that I'm wild eyed, baby you're just being kind
Never going outside, we are working overtime
Yeah, do like when I'm staying the night
With the temperature just right

We could write another duet
Or instead babe, we could just do it
Duet, do it, do it, duet, do it, do it, do it
Let's do something that we might regret
Take your guard down, I can see through it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, duet, do it, do it

You call me by my real name, I will keep you entertained
Everybody speculate, we've got things to recreate
Can we do this without all of the lights?
(They're awfully bright)
With the temperature just right

We could write another duet
Or instead babe, we could just do it
Duet, do it, do it, duet, do it, do it, duet
Let's do something that we might regret
Take your guard down, I can see through it
Duet, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Duet, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

And the road that I dream on
Is the road we're already on
And it feels like we are already strong
So I won't have to wait long
For what have we been getting on?
And it feels like if we could get it on
We'd be more than just someone
We could move things along

We could write another duet
Or instead babe, we could just do it
Duet, do it, do it, duet, do it, do it, duet
Let's do something that we might regret
Take your guard down, I can see through it
Duet, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

We could write another duet
Or instead babe, we could just do it
Duet, do it, do it, do it, duet, do it, duet
Let's do something that we might regret
Take your guard down, I can see through it
Duet, do it, do it, do it, duet, do it, do it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rae Morris's song "Do It" speak about the possibility of two people moving beyond their fears, letting go of their guards, and giving in to their instincts to connect with someone on a intimate level. From the very start, the song sets the stage with lyrics that hint at the desire between two people to be physical and emotional at the same time. The lyrics, "You can write the next line, baby you've been wasting time/We can make our bodies rhyme, our lives intertwine," draw upon the metaphysical connection that can arise when two people are in sync with one another. The song then goes on to describe how moving beyond the physical connection can take up a deeper meaning when both partners are willing to expose their innermost feelings to each other.

The song's chorus, "We could write another duet/Or instead babe, we could just do it/Let's do something that we might regret," speaks of the desire to take a risk and jump in without any inhibitions. The idea of regret is presented with the aim of making the experience more meaningful and valuable instead of a fleeting desire that doesn't last. Throughout the lyrics, the idea of letting go of fears and taking a leap of faith is presented as a path to a deeper understanding and connection with the other person.

In all, "Do It" is a song about taking a chance and following one's instincts to be with someone who connects with you in ways that are beyond the mere physical. It speaks of the possibility of a greater emotional connection that can arise when both partners are willing to push beyond their fears and give in to their desires.
