Do as I Do
Richard H. Kirk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're getting to be my one desire
You're getting to be all that matters to me
And let me tell you girl
I hope and pray each day I live
A little more love I'll have to give
A little more love that's devoted and true
Cause all I do is think about you
Oh baby
Is think about you
Think about you baby
All I do
M-m-m-m
Is think about you
Baby just suppose I should happen to cross your mind
And by some chance a boy like me you're really been trying to find
Well let me tell you girl
Think of how exciting it would be
If you should discover you feel like me
If you should discover this dream is for two
We'll I'm gonna tell you girl
I'd light a candle every day
And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new
Cause all I do is think about you
All I do
Oh baby

And pray that you'll always feel this way
And pray that our love will forever be new

If I cannot have you for my own
I'd rather be lonely and all alone
I'd rather keep thinking the way that I do
Cause all I do is think about you

Well let me tell you girl
Allow me to share something else with you
Think of how exciting it would be
Imagine the excitement that would result

If you should discover this dream is for two
If you were to realize that we share this dream

Can you feel can you feel can feel
Do you feel it too?
The fire burning can't you feel the birds humming
I feel so passionately, can't you sense it?
Can't you feel my love flowing
Can't you feel my love?
Can't you see my love growing
Can't you see my love for you getting stronger?
Oh, all I do is think about you
All I do is think about you
