Do
Marion Aunor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Expectations rise above me
All I wanna do is use my own voice
Make my own choices
But what if it's not good enough for you
There are so many things you want for me
Things you said that I could be
Just let me get there naturally
Without unwanted pressures happening
Let's let unfold what is meant for me
Ohh
‘Coz all I wanna do, do, do, do
Is share my music
Get the people
Grooving to it
Get them singing along
To my every song
Oh, I can do, do, do this all day long
Hope that they
Can relate to it
Get them LSS-ing to it
And I know I'm gonna get there if I use my way
All I wanna do, do, do.
Woahhh... do, do, do
Ohhh... do, do, do
Woaahh. Woahh.
I'm just so sick, sick of trying to please everybody
Why can't I just do this one thing for me
Everybody has decided what image they want for me
I haven't even figured out
What I want to be
Please just leave that to me
There are so many possibilities
So much we can do with what we were given
So please excuse me for resisting
The box you try to put me in
Not pushing you out
Just telling you what I'm all about
What I do, do, do, do, do
Is share my music
Get the people
Grooving to it
Get them singing along
To my every song
Oh, I can do, do, do this all day long
Hope that they
Can relate to it
Get them LSS-ing to it
And I know I'm gonna get there if I use my way
All I wanna do, do, do.
Woahhh... do, do, do
Ohhh... do, do, do
Woaahh. Woahh.
Do, do, do Woahhh...
Do, do, do Ohhh...
Do, do, do, Woaahh. Woahh.
But please don't mistake this for overconfidence
There really isn't nothing wrong
With the ideas you suggestin'
I'm just saying
I think I can handle it from here
Like everybody tryin' to figure out
Who I'm supposed to be
But that does not give you the right to tell me
What I should be
Just give me the chance
To show you who I am
What I do, do, do, do, do, do
Ohhh.
(Repeat the second [slowly-moderate)
Woahhh... do, do, do
Ohhh... do, do, do
Woaahh. Woahh.
Do, do, do Woahhh...
Do, do, do Ohhh...
Do, do, do, Woaahh. Woahh
All I wann a do, do, do.
(Repeat2x)
The song "Do" by Marion Aunor is about the struggle of finding one's own voice, following one's own path, and resisting the pressure or expectations from others. The song begins with the singer feeling like she is just starting out and is overwhelmed by the expectations that others have of her. Despite this, she wants to find her own voice and make her own choices. The singer takes charge of her own direction and asks for the freedom to make her own decisions naturally without any pressure from the outside. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to share her music with others, get them grooving and singing her every song, and hopes that they can relate to it.
In the second verse, the singer expresses her frustration with trying to please everyone and their imaginations of who she should be. She hasn't even figured out what she wants to be, and she wishes that people would just leave her be to find out her true self. The singer then emphasizes her reluctance to be put in a box and resist the expectations of others. She asks for a chance to show who she is and do what she wants to do.
This song showcases the struggle of finding one's own identity and resisting the pressures and expectations of others. It is introspective and empowering, as it encourages the singer and the listener to take charge of their own path and not conform to societal standards.

Leslie Saunders
she is one of my favorite singer may originality at ang classy ng boses..Good job marion Lgi ko to pinakinggan..
Gwayne Deveza
+Leslie Saunders Idk about originality, she sounds like Regina Spektor. Copied Style and all. Non the less, I think she's pretty good. How ever i still like Up Dharma Down a tad more..
Lloyd
+Gwayne Deveza you have a point there. pero compared sa ibang..di bale na nga lang hihi. I'll just enjoy her music :)
PiaY
+Leslie Saunders it is like vasanova kind od.
Gwayne Deveza
***** Lol... Don't get me wrong, I think she's fantastic, but very reminiscent of Regina. You should try Hiatus Kaiyote, they're from Australia. Pretty amazing!
