Justin Guarini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me say, I've been jonesin' girls
And I've never been that kind
But anyway, you ain't knowin' girl
Got me twisted out my mind
Everytime that you're around
I forget about, my responsibilities
I'll use it to convince
'Til you say you'll be with me
I'm willin' to do
Everything I know I'm not supposed to
Anything it takes for me to show you
How I feel, I don't care
What have I got to do
Girl I'm gettin' through to you
I'm willin' to move anywhere you go
I'm gonna roll wit you
Quit my job and all we do is make love all night
Ah yeah, well be doin' things that were not supposed to
So baby stay, girl I promise to
Put you first in my life
I'll throw away my list of things to do
Leave my commitments all behind
Well I know I shouldn't be droppin everything
But I can't help myself
'Cause id rather be with you
If were required to
Follow the rules like everybody else
I'm willin' to do
Everything I know I'm not supposed to do
Anything it takes for me to show you
How I feel, I don't care
What have I got to do
Girl I'm gettin' through to you
I'm willin' to move anywhere you go
I'm gonna roll wit you
Quit my job and all we do is make love all night
Ah yeah, we'll be doin' things that were not supposed to
Oo, here's what I'm talkin' bout
Blowin' farther plans, just so I can take you out
Call me up, anytime you want cause I
I'll be available, ill fit you in my schedule
Jump in the car, speedin' down the avenue
Not a damn thing, anyone can do
'Cause girl I'm not afraid to break the law
As long as I can do my time with you
I'm willin' to do (i'm willin')
Everything I know I'm not supposed to (not supposed to do)
Anything it takes for me to show you

The lyrics of the song "Doin' Things" by Justin Guarini are about a man who is willing to break all the rules and abandon everything he knows, even his responsibilities and commitments, just to be with the woman he loves. He is deeply infatuated with her and thinks she is worth all the trouble he is willing to go through to have her. He forgets all his responsibilities and thinks only about convincing her to be with him. The man is so much in love that he's willing to move anywhere his lover goes and make love all night, even if it means quitting his job. He knows he shouldn't drop everything for love, but he can't help himself. The lyrics suggest that love can make people act in ways that are not the norm and sometimes even illegal.
