Doin' It
Lewis Huey And The News Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Early in the morning, I'm still in bed
She comes to me with sweet affection
Wakes me with kisses, hello sleepyhead
Gets me moving in the right direction
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems like everything I do I'm doing better

Doing it all for my baby
Because she's as fine as she can be
I'm doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Later in the evening, it's been a busy day
She lays her head upon my weary shoulder
Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say
Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems like everything I do I'm doing better

Doing it all for my baby
'Cause she's as fine as she can be
Doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Doing it all for my baby
Because she's as fine as she can be
I'm doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me

Doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah

Doing it, doing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Doing it, doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah

Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Doing it all for my baby
Doing it all for my baby
Doing it all for my baby
She's as fine as she can be
Doing it all for my baby




Doing it all for my baby
She's so fine

I don’t know if people realize how lucky we really were to grow up with this music. The whole band is just phenomenal.

All his life, my Dad was a big fan of this video - it was the first video we laughed together in the 80s when he gave me a bit of his music taste. RIP Dad, I miss you so much ❤️

This video has incredible meaning. Esp that its from the masculine prospective.. I’m femme and have gotten out of a lot of abusive relationships. So seeing her be afraid of him as soon as he transforms into a human man, that hurt me personally lol.
