Lyric
Baby maybe I look just like a foolStanding here before you trying to figure outWhat you do to me just to see youJust to hear you speak my nameMakes me feel so weak that I can hardly standWhat you do to meWhat you do to me, is like poetryIf I only knew, what you do to meWhat you do to me is so heavenlyWish I could do to you what you do to meBaby I’m used to being in commandKnowing where I standBut that was long beforeYou got through to meNow I’m begging, beggingDon’t let me go down in flamesDon’t be playing games like they heard aboutWhat you do to meOh keep on holding me (keep on holding me)Keep on kissing me (keep on kissing me)Keep on driving me wildOh keep on touching me (keep on touching)And my mercury (and my mercury)Keeps on climbing up to the skyHere we go baby what you do to meBaby what you do to meBaby what you do to me baby what you doIf I could only do what you do to me well
