Do I Do Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
[Refrain]
Girl, do I do
What you do
When I do my love to you?
[Verse 2]
When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane
[Refrain]
Girl, do I do
What you do
When I do my love to you?
Baby
[Chorus]
Yes, I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes, I got some honeysuckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
Yes, I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes, I got some honeysuckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you
My life has been waiting for your love
My arms have been waiting for your love to arrive
My heart has been waiting
My soul anticipating your love, love, love
When I see you on the street
My whole body gets weak
When you're standing in a crowd
Your love talks to me so loud
[Refrain]
Girl, do I do
What you do
When I do my love to you?
[Verse 2]
When I hear you on the phone
Your sweet, sexy voice turns my ear all the way on
Just the mention of your name
Seems to drive my head insane

Girl, do I do
What you do
When I do my love to you?
Baby
