This Is What I Do

(Instrumental)

I opened up my heart, and I let it bleed.
You told me baby, I wasn't what you need.
Spendin' my nights just a cryin' on the floor.
Can't seem to breathe since you walked on out that door.
I see you was gone, gonna do your thang.
The ache in my heart oh it stings ya stings.
I'm beggin' you baby take a chance with me.
My love for you, oh it sets you free. Ho!

(Instrumental)

Passed you on the street, oh my heart was at your feet.
Walkin' with your new love, oh ain't she sweet.
You smiled, gave a nod, just the way that you do.
It's breaking me baby, can't you see I'm needin' you.
Starin' at the phone, just a hopin' it will ring.
The silence makes me scream, don't I mean a thing.
Gotta shut it down, I don't want to think.
Darkness closin' in let me drink and drink. Ho!

(Instrumental)

They tell me I should move on, findin' me a new squeeze.
The ache in my heart got me swingin’ from the trees.
I think of all the things that you mean to me.
Gotta find a way to cast you out to sea.
Crack another bottle, pop another pill.
Wishin' I could die, why'm I breathin' still.
Maybe someday I'll forget about you.
Until that time baby, oh “this is what I do”. Ho!

(Instrumental - Outro)
