That Thing You Do!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You, doin' that thing you do
Breakin' my heart into a million pieces
Like you always do
And you, don't mean to be cruel
You never even knew about the heartache
I've been going through
Well I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I know all the games you play
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I don't ask a lot girl (I don't ask a lot girl)
But I know one thing's for sure (know one thing's for sure)
It's the love I haven't got girl
And I just can't take it anymore... Whoa!!
(break)
'Cause we could be happy can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me
'Cause it hurts me so just to see you go
Around with someone new
And if I know you, you're doin' that thing...
Everyday just doin' that thing...
I can't take you doin' that thing you do
