You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle
The way you sweep me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been perfume
(CHORUS)
Well, you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
Oh, baby, pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks can cause a minute
You know you would've be an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a con crook
And, baby, you're so smart
You know you should've been a schoolbook
(CHORUS)
You made my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And, baby, you're so sweet
You know you could've been some honey
(CHORUS)
You really sweep me off my feet
(The way you do the things you do)
You made my life complete
You made my life so bright
(The way you do the things you do)
You make me feel all right
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
