Things You Do To Me
Martin Sexton Lyrics

You drive me crazy
Your actions and behaviours towards me stir up my emotions and I can't help but feel insane.

So late at night
Even during the wee hours, when I should be sleeping, your presence is constantly on my mind.

You hide your face from me
You try to keep a certain distance between us and you don't show me your true self, which can be frustrating and confusing.

In the morning there's a phone call
After spending the night thinking about you, the morning comes with a call, probably from a family member or someone else who wants to talk to you.

Got me going
Your actions are so powerful that it's got me feeling all kinds of different emotions.

It's your old man on the line.
Upon answering the phone call, it is revealed that it's your father on the other end, which can mean a variety of different things depending on the relationship, but can be a source of anxiety and stress for some.

Well I ain't talking 'bout the dress you're wearing
I'm not referring to the clothes you have on, as that doesn't have much of an effect on me.

Ain't talking 'bout the thing in your hair
Nor am I talking about the accessories or adornments that you've chosen to wear.

Ain't talking 'bout the kooch your daring
I'm not talking about any kind of sexual act or behaviour, as that's not the point of my affection.

Ain't talking 'bout the love your sharing
This isn't about the romantic love or affection that you share with other people, because that's not what I'm experiencing.

I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me
Rather, I'm referring to the impact that your actions and behaviours have on me personally.

It's a waste of time
Trying to resist these feelings is pointless, as I can't help but be affected by you.

I don't even have to fight
I don't need to put up a struggle or exert any effort to feel the way that I do.

Here all by myself
Despite being physically alone, my mind is still consumed by thoughts of you.

Just waiting for you to pass by
I'm eagerly anticipating your presence, even if it's just a glimpse of you as you walk by.

And the things you're talking 'bout are crazy
Sometimes the topics you bring up or the things you say are nonsensical or irrational, but it doesn't change how I feel about you.

You know
Despite my love for you being irrational, you're aware of how strongly I feel.

Ain't talking 'bout your breasts or thighs
I'm not fixating on any particular aspect of your body, as my feelings go beyond surface-level attraction.

Ain't talking 'bout that look in your eyes
Nor am I enamoured with your gaze or any other physical feature specifically.

Ain't talking 'bout your big shoe size
Even your shoe size is of no consequence, because what's most important is how you make me feel.

Ain't talking what you do to other guys
I'm not concerned with how you behave towards other men specifically, because my feelings are about our dynamic and not anyone else's.

I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me.
Rather, I'm expressing how your actions and behaviours towards me personally affect me in a deep and meaningful way.

And like any other guy
As a typical man, I'm naturally inclined to be interested in sex and physical attraction.

I've got sex on the brain.
But my attraction to you goes beyond just physical desire, as there's a deeper connection that I feel.

But it's a bit more complicated.
My love for you isn't purely romantic or sexual, but is nuanced and multifaceted.

There's a way that you show me a sign
There are moments when you give me a hint or show me a certain gesture, and it's in those moments that I feel especially drawn to you.

Something else gets elevated.
Something about those signs or gestures raises the stakes, and makes what's between us even more meaningful and significant.

Yeah, yeah
In those moments, my feelings for you become even more intense and pronounced.

I'm talking 'bout the things you do to me.
Ultimately, it all comes back to how your actions affect me personally, and the connection that I feel with you because of it.
