You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And babe you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
Well, you could of been anything that you wanted to
But I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby you're so smart
You know you could have been a school book
Well, you could of been anything that you wanted to
But I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Oh, the way you do the things you do
You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
Well, you could of been anything that you wanted to
But I can tell
The way you do the things you do
Alright, the way you do the things you do
You make my life so bright!
The way you do the things you do
You really set me off my feet
The way you do the things you do, yeah
You make me feel alright
