 You've 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
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)
  Oh, baby
 (The way you do the things you do)
 As pretty as you are (ooo hoo)
 You know you could've been a flower
 If good looks could cause a minute (ooo hoo)
 You know that you could be 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
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)
  Oh, baby
 (The way you do the things you do)
  Yeah

 You made my life so rich (ooo hoo)
 You know you could've been some money
 And baby, you're so sweet (ooo hoo)
 You know you could've been some honey
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)
 You really swept me off my feet
 (The way you do the things you do)
 You made my life complete
 (The way you do the things you do)
 You made my life so bright
 (The way you do the things you do)
 You make me feel all right
 (The way you do the things you do)
