The Way You Do The Things You Do Lyrics

	


You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could have been some perfume

Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are
You know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a minute
You know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a cool crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book

Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do


You make my life so rich
You know you could have been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey

Well you could have been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do

You really swept me off my feet

You made my life complete

You made my life so bright

You make me feel all right

You make me feel all right

This is such a great song! I love most of the temptations songs, but this is my favourite of theirs out of the ones where David Ruffin (I don't know if I spelled that right) wasn't the lead vocalist.

This song has some cool lyrics. Self-explanatory. But these hecka funny girls sing this song like its a country song, and they make me laugh. Oh, that Kathy.... I could marry Kathy. But nobody will ever read this so it doesn't matter.

UB40's remix to this is a very nice song, very mellow.
