That Thing You Do (lyrics)

You, doing that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces
Like you always do,
And you, don’t mean to be cruel,
You never knew about the heartache
I’ve been going through

Well, I try and try to forget you, girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do

I know all the games you play
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that
You'll be mine someday
‘Cause we could be happy
Can’t you see, if you’d only let me
Be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Well, I try and try to forget you, girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do

I don’t ask a lot, girl,
But I know one thing’s for sure,
It’s the love I haven’t got, girl,
And I just can’t take it anymore.
‘Cause we could be happy
Can’t you see, if you’d only let me
Be the one to hold you
And keep you here with me

Well, it hurts me so just to see you go
Around with someone new,
And if I know you you’re doing that thing,
Every day just doing that thing,
I can’t take you doing that thing you do.
