Do What You Do
Unraveling Love's Symphony: Tina Turner's Message in 'Do What You Do'
Lyrics
When you say the things you say
Expressing the importance of sincerity in spoken words.
You gotta mean it
Emphasizing the need for genuine intent behind actions.
And when you do the things you do
Highlighting the significance of heartfelt actions.
It's gotta come from the heart
Stressing that actions should be motivated by genuine emotions.
Something's gone, I can't explain
Describing a feeling of loss or confusion.
The heat is missing from the plain
Noticing the absence of passion or intensity in a situation.
Can't deny it, there's a link missing from the chain
Acknowledging a missing connection or element in a relationship.
There's something wrong with you and me
Suggesting that something is amiss between the speaker and the other person.
When more than one adds up to three
Expressing a sense of imbalance or disharmony when combining elements.
Don't know the reason, but the fact is plain to see
Not understanding the cause but recognizing the evident problem.
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
Pointing out the loss of physical and verbal connection in the relationship.
It's our love you abuse, don't you throw it away
Accusing the other person of mistreating the love shared between them.
When you do what you do that you do to me
Reflecting on the impact of the other person's actions on the speaker.
Don't you know that it ain't enough
Indicating that the actions performed are insufficient to sustain the relationship.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
Asserting that actions are meaningless without genuine love.
When you do what you do without love, without love
Reiterating the importance of love in actions and gestures.
I'm gonna paint a picture of you
Planning to depict the subject in a certain way, using the color blue.
The only color I need is blue
Suggesting a lack of love and a sense of sadness in the subject.
You're out of love, baby you know it's true
Affirming the absence of love in the relationship.
Tell me why and I'll try to understand
Seeking an explanation for the emotional distance.
'Cause I can cry when you do what you do to me
Expressing the emotional pain caused by the other person's actions.
Don't you know that it ain't enough
Reiterating that the actions are insufficient to meet emotional needs.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing
Stating that actions are meaningless without love.
When you do what you do without love
Emphasizing the importance of love in all actions.
It's the touch that you lose, and the words you don't say
Repeating the loss of physical and verbal connection in the relationship.
It's the love you refuse, don't you throw it away
Reproaching the rejection of love in the relationship.
When you do what you do
Reiterating that actions alone are insufficient without genuine love.
Don't you know that it ain't enough
Emphasizing the inadequacy of actions without genuine love.
When you do what you do
Highlighting the negative impact of actions that lack love.
Then you know it's a crime that you kill me up
Suggesting that loveless actions are harmful or destructive.
When you do what you do without love, without love
Repeating the idea that actions without love are problematic.
Don't know what you're doing
Expressing confusion or concern about the other person's actions.
What you're doing without love
Questioning the purpose of actions performed without love.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Reiterating that actions are meaningless if devoid of genuine love.
When you do-do-do, do-do (do it, gotta do it with love)
Encouraging the idea of performing actions with love.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Emphasizing again that loveless actions are without meaning.
When you do-do-do, do-do (do it, gotta do it with love)
Reiterating the importance of infusing love into actions.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Stressing once more that actions without love lack significance.
When you do-do-do, do-do (do it, gotta do it with love)
Encouraging the incorporation of love into actions for meaning.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Repeating the message that loveless actions are meaningless.
When you do-do-do, do-do (do it, gotta do it with love)
Encouraging the performance of actions with love for significance.
When you do what you do it don't mean a thing (don't mean a thing)
Reiterating that actions without love are devoid of meaning.
When you do-do-do, do-do (do it, gotta do it with love)
Continuing the message of doing actions with love for meaning.
