What We Do
Crystal Kay Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah it's true I've got a man
But he doesn't hold my hand
Appreciate the things I do
He must be crazy fool
Preoccupied with"what's her name"
I'll go do my thing
But I keep it on the low, no one needs to know
What's old to him is new to my baby
Two can play that game, I ain't sitting around waiting
Just relax your mind I'll deal with it later
Cause tonight's all about something new

What we do - do
It ain't nobody's business
It's true - true it is just a little secret
And oooh
It stays between me and you - what we do, what we do
It ain't nobody's business it's true

He be all up in my face
Bugging when I need space
"Who you with and where you've been?"
Man, just get over it
He can't hold it down like you never tried - not good
Double hearted thugs can't win
Well, that's too bad for him

Don't be shy tonight, Cause he be out clubbing
We have got all night, so let's do a little something, something
Just relax yourself, I'll deal with him later
Cause tonight's all about me and you

What we do - do
It ain't nobody's business
It's true - true it is just a little secret
And oooh
It stays between me and you - what we do, what we do
(×2)

Ah!! Get illy with it!!
I don't need no diamond rings
Fancy cars expensive things
I just need a man who takes control what I want he knows
How to treat a woman right, man that's true got nothing on the side
Uh uh, if I catch his ass creepin' round
Please believe I'll shut it down
If you know what I'm talking about let me hear you ladies shout -
you know what's on my mind, ain't nothing wrong with killing some time
What we do nobody gotta know uh, just keep it on the low -
yea its about me and you and we don't care about!!

What we do - do
It ain't nobody's business
It's true - true it is just a little secret
And oooh




It stays between me and you - what we do, what we do

Overall Meaning

In the song "What We Do" by Crystal Kay, the singer discusses how she has a man, but he doesn't hold her hand. She appreciates the things he does, but he is preoccupied with a woman named "what's her name," causing her to go do her own thing but keeping it low-key. The lyrics suggest that something may be going on between her and another person, as they sing "What's old to him is new to my baby." They reassure each other that what they are doing is nobody's business and that it's just a little secret, staying between them. They also encourage each other to relax, and that tonight is all about them: "What we do - do, it ain't nobody's business, it's true - true it is just a little secret, and oooh, it stays between me and you."


The lyrics imply that the singer's current relationship may not be what she wants, and thus she is seeking something else from someone else. She expresses frustration with her current partner, who bugs her when she needs space and interrogates her about where she's been and who she's with. She contrasts this with the other person, who takes control and knows what she wants, and can treat a woman right. The song suggests that the singer is not satisfied with her current situation and is looking for something more fulfilling.


Overall, "What We Do" by Crystal Kay is a song about seeking something more, being dissatisfied with the status quo, and finding comfort and fulfillment elsewhere. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to follow, but they convey a complex mix of emotions and desires.
