Do What You Do
Love's Unraveling: Jermaine Jackson's Musical Tale of Joy and Heartbreak
Lyrics
Why don't you do what you do
Questioning why the person is not behaving as they used to
When you did what you did to me
Reflecting on past actions and their impact on the speaker
Love was so good, that it fills up all my needs
Describing the positive and fulfilling nature of past love
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
Recalling mutual affection and interest between the speaker and the person
How could something so right, go so wrong
Expressing confusion about how something good turned sour
My love, sweet love
Endearing term for the lost or faded love
Why don't you say what you say
Asking why the person doesn't communicate as before
When you say what you said anymore
Noticing a change in the way the person expresses themselves
Your eyes couldn't lie, so long goodbye, close the door
Observing that the person's eyes reveal the truth, leading to a farewell
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
Reiterating the mutual craziness and attraction in the past
How could something so right go so wrong
Expressing continued confusion about the relationship's downfall
Tell me something I didn't do
Requesting information about something the speaker might have missed
Why did someone else put you through
Questioning why someone else caused pain to the person
Did they steal you away like a thief in the night
Using metaphorical language to describe the abrupt separation
Love like this, must take flight
Suggesting that a love like theirs is meant to end or move on
Why don't they play what they played
Asking why others don't play the same music from their shared past
On the nights you danced with me
Recalling specific moments of joy and connection
Remember the one we made love to endlessly
Remembering a time when love was expressed without limits
I was crazy for you, you were crazy for me
Affirming the mutual craziness for each other in the past
How could something so right go so wrong
Expressing ongoing confusion and sadness about the relationship's deterioration
