This Will Do Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You at the show
From the crowd you look, I'm lookin' back at you
Beautiful up in your black dress
And you wanna meet me bad so
Exit stage, left and say "Hello" (Hello)
Take your hand, you're ready to go (Ooh-ooh)
Maybe 'cause she already knows
Maybe 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, 'cause I'm your favorite
Man, I hate this, but ain't complainin'
Get a kiss or two
'Cause you listen to me
This ain't real, but this'll do


[Chorus]
Far from love and
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through
On these instrumentals (Yeah, yeah)
Far from love and (Love)
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through (Oh, woah-oh)
On these instrumentals
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, woah, ooh-ooh, yeah)

[Verse 2]
You at the show (The show, the show, the show)
This time you came in with the band, yeah
Beautiful up in the sound check
Is this love or is she actin'?
Don't say it, girl (Girl), already know
Take my hand, I'm in control
When the music stop, you let me go (Go)
It's just for the moment, it's just for the show

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, 'cause I'm your favorite ('Cause I'm your favorite)
Man, I hate this (Yeah), but ain't complainin' (Ain't complainin')
Get a kiss or two
'Cause you listen to me
This ain't real, but this'll do

[Chorus]
Far from love and
Know it's because, I (Know it's because)
Sing what I've been through (Seen what I've been)
On these instrumentals (Yeah, yeah)
Far from love and (Far from love)
Know it's because, I (It's because)
Sing what I've been through (Yeah)
On these instrumentals (Oh, oh)
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, woah, ooh-ooh, yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

Genius Answer

Sometimes, production will have their structures, but I feel like, sometimes, artists—we know what feels better because we know what to sing over. We know when to let it breathe. And I love to go into that space where it kind of just makes it flow more. So, for “This Will Do”, this is the beginning of the story of me saying that I’m single for the first project ever, really. And one of the problems I run into being single and being me is not being quite sure what’s real and what’s fake, but this song is me acknowledging that possibility and then just going with it—saying it could be fake, yeah, but it’ll do.
