Do be do be do be do be
Everybody say to you all the time
(Do be true)
Everyone no one but no one can find
(Do be love)
A human need that is never failed
But baby I don’t care
Just do be there, and do be down

Its tender love, just what is love and what you like
I give you me, you give me you and that’s alright
Guess what I’m trying to say
In this gradual way of the love we’ve found
Since you finally unwound
Just do be you, and do be down

I just wanna know, no matter where we go
Girl let’s not distrust what we adore
Strangers it may sound
Let’s keep this love around
You for me, me for you
That’s all I wanna do
Do be do
But everybody say to you all the time
To be true,
Everyone no one but no one can find
(Do be love)
A human need that is never found
But baby I don’t care
Just do be there, and do be down
Well baby I don’t care do be there
And do be down
Well baby I don’t care do be there
And do be down
Well baby I don’t care do be there
And do be down
