About Do You

"Do You" is a 2007 single by American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo. It is about Ne-Yo questioning his ex-girlfriend if she ever thinks about him anymore. It is the second single from his second album, Because of You. The single was officially released to radio the week of June 12, 2007. In an interview with BET, Ne-Yo said that "Do You" is the second part to his song "So Sick" from his debut album, In My Own Words. "Do You" was released on July 30 in the UK as a download only single, despite receiving more video play than follow-up single "Can We Chill" (which received a physical release), resulting in a lower chart position of number 100 there, his lowest charting single. Ne-Yo premiered "Do You" on BET's Access Granted on May 23, 2007.

Maybe this decision was a mistake
You probably don't care what I have to say
But it's been heavy on my mind for months now
Guess I'm trying to clear some mental space

I would love to talk to you in person
But I understand why that can't be
I'll leave you alone for good, I promise
If you answer this one question for me

I just wonder
Do you ever
Think of me any more
Do you?

First off, let me say congratulations
Heard that you just had a baby girl
If she looks anything like her mother
She's the prettiest thing in the world

Swear that I'm not tryin' to start no trouble
Tell your fiancé he can relax
I'll leave you alone for good, I promise
There's a question I just got to ask

I just wonder
Do you ever
Think of me anymore
Do you?

I know what we have is dead and gone
Too many times I made you cry
And I don't mean to interrupt your life
I just wonder, do I ever cross your mind?

I just wonder
Do you ever
Think of me anymore
Do you?
(Do you, do you, do you?)

I just wonder
Do you ever
Think of me anymore
Do you?
(Do you, do you?)

I just wonder
Do you ever
Think of me anymore
Do you?
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
