You Do
Love's Resilience: Aimee Mann's 'You Do' Unveils the Strength Behind Sacrifice
Lyrics
You stay the night at his house
You spend the night at his house
With no ride to work
Without transportation to work
And I'm the one who tells you
I inform you that he's just another undesirable person
He's another jerk
Yet, you are the one who can achieve success
But you're the one who can succeed
You only need to prove your necessity
You've only got to prove your need,
And you successfully do so
And you do
You truly do
You really do
The sex you're trading up for
The intimacy you exchange for
What you hope is love
What you desire to be love
Is just another thing that
Is just another thing he'll treat casually
He'll be careless of
Despite numerous warnings
But though there are caveats galore
You only need to love him more
You've only got to love him more,
And you genuinely do
And you do
You truly do
You really do
Even when it's all too clear
Even when the situation is painfully obvious
You write a little note that
You write a note left on the bed
You leave on the bed
And analyze every word he spoke
And spend some time dissecting
Spending time dissecting
Every word he said
Even if he appeared a bit odd
And if he seemed a little strange
Because anyone has the potential to change
Well, baby, anyone can change
And you indeed do change
And you do
You truly do
You do
You really do
You really do
You genuinely do
