Do / Don't - Ike Willis

It’s another fine day in the world’s biggest one-horse town

Grown-up children at play in the kingdom of light and sound

It’s the start of the hour of the next greatest power-to-be

I’m that downtown contender, yeah —

You find exactly what you need in me

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Let’s get away from here

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Whatever you do/don't fear

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

I thought you were having fun

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

What you do/don't run, don’t run, don’t run

Yes, the bronze is so dirty on my

Statue in the square downtown

Once it shone like a hero’s helmet

It shone like a crown

You could call on your sister

Even call the little mister with the candy-kilo pound

But it’s been a little while

Since they all came up to smile

Up at my statue in the square downtown

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

What will tomorrow bring?

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

It’s never a do/don't thing

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

It’s simply a matter of

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Whatever you do for love

Now I made a deal for my future

I was needlessly obscure

But I did not see the downside, yes

I got to go back on tour

First call session or jingle

Is that a deal, that allure?

Ev’rybody is building their statues

Is it a curse or cure?

Now I’m honored by money

Hey, my name is even carved in stone

They tell me I’m dug by the millions

Cool to the proverbial bone

Now my manager’s exiled

He just did not have the style

And one more time I’m on my own

From Porcaro to the Prine

Forever you will find

They all got statues in the square downtown

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Let’s get away from here

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Whatever you do/don't fear

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Thought you were having fun

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

What you do/don't run, don’t run, don’t run

Yes, that bronze is so dirty on my

Statue in the square downtown

I’ve got my eye on that record guy

Chasin' him all around town

Get the video rotation

To sweep the very nation

With the perfect platinum sound

I’m a musical magician, there is no competition

Another statue in the square downtown

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Let’s get away from here

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Whatever you do/don't fear

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

I thought you were having fun

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

What you do/don't run, don’t run

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

What will tomorrow bring?

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

It’s never a do/don't thing

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Simply a matter of

Hey, did you know you never did do this before

Whatever you do for love

Whatever you do for love, for love

Whatever you do for love, for love

Whatever you do for love

Whatever you do for love

Do for love

You do for love…
