The Things We Do

(album: My Heart - 1999)

We wash our clothes,
We press our shirts,
We brush our teeth,
And we go to work.
We fill our tanks,
And we wax our cars,
We edge our driveways,
And mow our yards.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna kiss some guy that I dont know,
Buy a one way ticket down to Mexico,
Parasail and learn to fly,
And skinny dip in paradise.

But I tie my shoes,
And I exercise,
And I sit up straight,
And I stand in line.
And I paint my walls,
And I fill my cracks,
And every April fools,
I figure out my tax.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna throw my food in a resteraunt,
Take two weeks off any time I want,
Climb everest and see the world,
Ride a big black Harley like a gypsy girl.

But I pour my milk,
And I eat my flakes,
And every once a year,
I get to cut my cake.
And I want my watch,
And I pay my rent,
And sometimes I wonder,
Where my life went.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna do

I wanna take the conquord to Paris, France,
Learn gourmet cooking and how to dance,
Win the lottery and give it all away,
Those homeless need some place to stay.

Theres the things that we do,
(theres the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do,
(all the things that we do)
Theres the things that we do
(theres the things that we do)
And then theres... the things we wanna... Do
