Smokey Robinson
The Way You Do the Things You Do (Live at French’s Camp, Piercy, CA, August 10, 1991)
[Verse 1]
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 swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some 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

[Verse 2]
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were a minute
You know you could've been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a cool crook
And baby, you're so smart
You know you could've been a school book

[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
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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]
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

[Refrain]
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
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
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]
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

[Outro]
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
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
