(Intro/Chorus) It's just the things that you do (5x) The way you do the things you do (Verse 1) Ain't yo' fault the alarm clock sound I grab my shoe and turn the damn thing down But now it's 9 o'clock and I still ain't up up yet Work on time yeah I admire the concept You got me journin' and I mean anticipating Seeing you I can't wait and so not concentrate My mind is blind of all the times thinking of you And the way you do things you do (Chorus) (Verse 2) I walk in the park for a midnight rynic For a slow dance, romance, my (?) of see through I want to be with you But I ain't hiding A wave of love and I'm gliding and ridening Things like that when you hear me Sayin' sort of sounds like that same old cliché Climbing the highest mountain and swimming the deepest sea But I can't front, I want you to be want me Cause baby when you grab me tightly You send chills and tend to insight me When you ?coress? and fumble me lightly Oh girl watch up cause she might be Settin' yourself up the way that you tease me Sooner or later you might have to please me It's just something about you The way you do things you do (Chorus) (Verse 3) Now why oh why would an incredibly fly guy like me Be chasing one lady It's just something about you The way you carry yourself when you're out to Seein' how I sort of captifying style, I've parked the feelin' But your whippers are peeling Since this is a subject that I brought up I just mind as well admit that I'm caught up It ain't the clothes that you're wearin' Your perfume or the sytle that that your hair's in It ain't your body, how slim your waist is Your new jeans and how pretty your face is But I feel funny when it close pack sillity Make it wonder what's gettin' in to me It's just something about you The way you do the things you do (Chorus) (Bridge) It's nothing that you do (2x) The way you do the things you do (Verse 4) The mystery is some this world ?panda? Just sittin' back let my mind wonda Whatta, whadda, whodda, whada hell is this young lady Drivin so crazy Reply in thought pose like the thinker I play you with kiss or a winka Or a smile just to show you It's something about you The way you do the things you do Come here, come here Come on out, don't worry You want me to chase you don't you? Just come here, I've got you now Sss The way you do the things you (Chorus) It's just the things that you do (the way you do the things you do) (10x) (Bridge) The way (repeated several times)
