Do/Don't Songtext
von 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'll find exactly what you need in me

Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Let′s get away from here
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do, don′t fear
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
I thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever 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 can call on your sister
Even call the little mister
With the heavy 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 we never did this before?
Now what will tomorrow bring?
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
It′s never a do, don't think
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
It's simply a matter of
Hey, did you know we never did 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 or that a lure?
Everybody is building their statues
Is it a curse or cure?

Now I′m honored by money
And my name is even carved in stone

They tell me I′m worth 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 Picasso to the Prime
Forever you will find

They all got statues in the square downtown
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Let's get away from here
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do, don′t fear
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
I thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do, don't run, don′t run, don't run

Yes, the bronze is so dirty
On my statue in the square downtown

I've got my eye on that record guy
Chasing him all around town
Get that video rotation
To sweep the very nation
With the perfect platinum sound
I′m that musical magician
There is no competition
Another statue in the square downtown

Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Let′s get away from here
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do, don't fear
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
I thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do, don′t run, don't run, don′t run

Now what will tomorrow bring?
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
It's never a do, don′t think
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
It's simply a matter of
Hey, did you know we never did this before?
Whatever you do for love

Whatever you do for love, for love
Whatever you do for love, for love, for love
Whatever you do for love
Whatever you do for love
You do for love
You do for love
Do for love
Do for love
You do for love
