You Don't Do What You Did
|
You don’t do what you did
And say let’s pretend
You don’t do what you did
And get to call me friend
You don’t do what you did
And get back in my bed
You don’t do what you do
Again and again.
Walking on the river
At the dawn of light
Commuter boats beginning
Quarter moon in sight
Someone’s rolling luggage
It’s a bumpy ride
Honey I did love ya
Now I want your hide
Tugboats pushing nudging
As they guide the glide
Heart’s no longer tugging
That unhappy guy
I was the red tugboat
He the black barge
Pulled him out to sea
Cause me thought he was large
You don’t do what you did
And say let’s pretend
You don’t do what you did
And get to call me friend
You don’t do what you did
And get back in my bed
You don’t do what you do
Again and again.
Thought he was far traveling
Bring'in goods home
Turns out he was unraveling
A mini-cyclone
Had a pearl in every port
A girl he would whirl
When he docked he's socks were washed
By the one he named Home
You don’t do what you did
You don’t do what you did
I rang up all the sister-tugs
Told tales of this drone
No longer is his blackness tugged
It sits in the gloam
No longer is this rascal hauled
We know what you is
We've pulled the tug cause sisterhood
Is bigger than men
You don’t do what you did
And say let’s pretend
You don’t do what you did
Don’t you call us friends
You don’t do what you did
And get back in our heads
You don’t do what you did --
You don’t do what you did
And say let’s pretend
You don’t do what you did
Don’t you call us friends
You don’t do what you did
And get back in our beds
You don’t do what you did --
Amen!
