Do the Trick Lyrics
My heart, it ain't runnin' right.
Won't you give it a kick.
Will you be my handyman?
Will you do the trick?
I count the days as they pass me by,
My tock is a nervous tick.
Won't you free my hands of time?
Won't you do the trick?
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
All my marbles gone down the drain,
You could say I'm a lunatic.
Won't you set my mind at ease?
Won't you do the trick?
I burnt the candle on every side
Long since run out of wick.
Will you be my flame tonight?
Will you do the trick?
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
I been split down the middle
Call a doctor in quick!
I'm in need of a better half.
Will you do the trick?
I just can't find my way all alone
Man this fog is so thick
Won't you shine your light for me?
Will you do the trick?
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Ahh..
I've thrown everything at the wall
But nothing will stick
Won't you hang around a while?
Won't you do the trick?
I could build you a home on high,
I could lay each and every brick.
Will you be there by my side?
Will you do the trick?
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Will you do the trick?
Won't you give it a kick.
Will you be my handyman?
Will you do the trick?
My tock is a nervous tick.
Won't you free my hands of time?
Won't you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
You could say I'm a lunatic.
Won't you set my mind at ease?
Won't you do the trick?
Long since run out of wick.
Will you be my flame tonight?
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Call a doctor in quick!
I'm in need of a better half.
Will you do the trick?
Man this fog is so thick
Won't you shine your light for me?
Will you do the trick?
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Do the trick
Ahh..
But nothing will stick
Won't you hang around a while?
Won't you do the trick?
I could lay each and every brick.
Will you be there by my side?
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
Ah...
Will you do the trick?
