Why Don’t We Do This More Often Lyrics

Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Gee, but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then

We oughtta do this more often
Don't you agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh
We make each other sing
And you can never ever
Over-do a good thing
So why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight

Why don't we do this more often
Just what we're doin' tonight
Oh gee, but it's great to get together again
Why does it only happen now and then

We oughtta do it more often
Don't you agree that I'm right
We make each other laugh
We make each other sing
And you can never ever
Over-do a good thing
Why don't we do it more often
Just - what we're doin' - tonight

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
