I Do
Lil' O & H.A.W.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get way too over cautious
Leave my feelings damn forgotten
Brushed it off ‘cause I forgot how
To bring myself to ask you
How we could find ourselves together
Braced myself for never
But I couldn't figure it out
I couldn't let it all out

But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I know I do
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you

Looking back to all the times that I said I would quit
But here we are again, right back where the cracking rips
Open my heart, there's you
Can't seem to find no substitute
Running circles in a maze where you left me tricked
I can't focus, if you noticed, I was out of it
Patiently waiting for a sign
Can you help me

But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I know I do
But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you

I miss secretly holding your hand in public
No one's watching but we only felt it, it was special
It was us
Are you gonna get your act together
Or keep your demons treasured
Please help me, help me, help me

But I love you, I think I do, yeah
But I want you, oh, I know I do, oh




But I love you, I think I do
But I want you, I want you, I want you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil' O and H.A.W.K.'s song I Do tap into the internal conflicts and dilemmas of a person in love. The song presents two different emotions that are competing: the love the persona feels for the subject of the song, and the desire to possess them in a romantic relationship or to move on. The persona is struggling with their own fear of rejection and the feeling of being unable to express their emotions. The opening lyrics of, "I get too over-cautious, leave my feelings damn forgotten, brushed it off ‘cause I forgot how to bring myself to ask you," suggest the persona is shy or reserved and perhaps struggles to express themselves.


The chorus, "But I love you, I think I do, but I want you, I know I do," reflects the internal struggle of the persona who is aware of their deep feelings for the subject of the song but is conflicted by their fear of rejection. The lines "Can't seem to find no substitute, running circles in the maze where you left me tricked" expresses the persona's sense of confusion and ambiguity after being let down. They feel heartbroken and unable to move on, constantly going around in circles, revisiting the painful past.


The final verse strikes a reconciliatory note as it reveals the persona's desire to salvage the relationship. The lines "I miss secretly holding your hand in public, it was special, it was us" suggest that their relationship was unique and authentic. The persona is asking for help to reconcile things - "Are you gonna get your act together or keep your demons treasured; please help me, help me, help me" - as they seek to rekindle the feelings they shared before.
