I Do
Blaque; Lisa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has stayed on my coat
And even though I find it kinda gross
It somehow comforts me
The great thing about us is that
We're practically the same
And you know that's what
Scares me the most
With me in my suitcase
And I guess I don't wanna see it
Ending up in yours
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
You and I both know
A gypsy's heart can't settle down so
If you don't mind me asking
What do we do now?
Cuz I have to admit
Even the highways don't look the same
Since you've been around
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, for some odd reason, I'd like you to be more
Than just another song to sing
Well, for some odd reason, I'd like you to be more
Than just another song to sing
Well, for some odd reason, I'd like you to be more
Than just another song to sing
Well, for some odd reason, I'd like you to be more
Than just another song to sing
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
Well, you look like trouble
But I guess I do too
In the song "I Do" by Blaque, Lisa, the lyrics explore the uncertainty and fear that comes with falling in love. The smell of his old cigarettes on her coat is gross but also comforting because it signifies his presence. They are "practically the same" but that scares her the most, as she doesn't want to lose herself in the relationship. She's used to living as a "gypsy" and carrying her heart in her suitcase, but now she doesn't want it to end up in his. Despite the uncertainty and fear, they both look like trouble and seem to be drawn to each other, even though they both know a gypsy's heart can't settle down. The highways don't look the same since he's been around, indicating that he's had a significant impact on her life.
The repetition of the line "Well, you look like trouble, but I guess I do too" emphasizes the similarities between the two and their shared attraction to each other. The lyrics also express a desire for the relationship to be more than just a fleeting romance, as the singer wants him to be more than just "another song to sing." The overall mood of the song is one of vulnerability, uncertainty, and hope for something more.

The smell of your old cigarettes
The scent of your past actions remains with me.
Has stayed on my coat
It has left a lingering impression on me.
And even though I find it kinda gross
Although I am repulsed by it.
It somehow comforts me
It brings me a sense of peace.
The great thing about us is that
What I appreciate about our relationship is that.
We're practically the same
We have many similarities.
And you know that's what
However, I am afraid because that is precisely what.
Scares me the most
Frightens me the most.
My heart's always traveled
I have always been a wanderer at heart.
With me in my suitcase
My emotional baggage is always with me.
And I guess I don't wanna see it
Because I do not want to witness it.
Ending up in yours
Ending up becoming a burden on you.
Well, you look like trouble
You appear to be someone who would cause problems.
But I guess I do too
But then again, so do I.
You and I both know
We are both aware.
A gypsy's heart can't settle down so
I am a wanderer and cannot be content staying in one place.
If you don't mind me asking
May I ask you a question?
What do we do now?
What do we do from here?
Cuz I have to admit
Because I must confess.
Even the highways don't look the same
Even my everyday surroundings look different now.
Since you've been around
Since you have been a part of my life.
Well, for some odd reason, I'd like you to be more
Perhaps for an unexplainable reason, I hope for more from you.
Than just another song to sing
Than just another fleeting moment in my life.
Well, you look like trouble
Again, you give off a problematic air.
But I guess I do too
But then again, so do I.
Well, you look like trouble
Once more, your presence indicates difficulty.
But I guess I do too
Yet, I cannot deny that I am also troublesome.
Well, you look like trouble
Again and again, you present yourself as a challenge.
But I guess I do too
And I can only admit the same about myself.
Well, you look like trouble
One more time, I cannot help but see you as a risk.
But I guess I do too
However, as it turns out, so am I.

The last two lines seal the deal for me here:
"You ain't never heard the nine degrees
The mind degrees on lovingness philosophies
Unity the cornerstone that forms the one
Two ways to trust, either all or none
Joy, honor, respect and form the three laws that hurdle the four walls
That define the first five of all
Harmony number six takes commitment
Seventh level is peace, makes confidence
Balance like a figure eight joined at the hip infinity
Ninth reign, never-ending trip
Don't just, focus, on what your eyes can see
Think, feel, believe, give and receive"
