The Way You Do The Things You Do Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You've got[G] a smile so [A]bri[D]ght
You know you could [G]have been a [D]candle
I'm holding you [G]so [D]tight
You know you could have [G]been a [D]handout
The way you swept me off my [G]feet
You know you could have been [D]a bruise
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could [G]have been
some [D]perfume
[A]Well, you could have been
anything that you [G]wanted to
And I can [A]tell
[G]The way you [D]do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the you do
As pretty as you are
You know you could have been a flower
If good looks was a mimic,
you know that you could [G]be an [D]outlier.
Oh, the way you stole my [G]heart, yeah.
You know you could have
been a [D]conqueror.
And baby, you're so smart.
You know you should [G]have been
a [D]school [Eb]book.
[Bb]Well, you could have been
anything that [Ab]you wanted to.
And I can [Bb]tell
[Ab]The way you do t[Eb]he things you do
The way you do the things you [Ab]do[Bb]
The way you [Ab]do the things
you [Bb]do
Remember [Ab]that?
Our first song on the [Eb]charts
Took us 24 singles before we got it
[Ab]Defin[Eb]itely didn't think
we had a hit with those lyrics
You got a [Ab]smile [Bb]so bright
You know you [Ab]could've
been [Bb]a candle
Ain't exactly Lang[Ab]ston Hughes
but we made [Eb]history together, all of us.
Billed in this group was some kind
of testimony of will,
like a shepherd herding sheep
up the mountain
to stand before the Almighty.
When you finally reach the summit,
you realize all the flock have scattered
and you're the only one left.
That's when it's time
to revisit your journey
and measure if it was worth the
cost of losing your brothers.
David, Eddie, Paul, Melvin,
the classic men who built the temptations.
With these men, oh,
I felt the most magic I ever felt in my life.
But if I'm going to be measured right,
I got to start at the beginning.
