D.I.Y. Lyrics
[Chorus]
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
[Verse 1]
Don't tell me what I will do
'Cause I won't
Don't tell me to believe in you
'Cause I don't
Be on your guard, better hostile and hard
Don't risk affection
Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone
You're still looking for the resurrection
[Pre-Chorus]
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
And I'll tell you, straight in the eye, hey!
[Chorus]
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
[Verse 2]
Everyone wants to be what he not
What he not
Nobody happy with what he got
What he got
You function like a dummy with a new ventriloquist
Can you say nothing yourself?
Hanging like a thriller on the final twist
Is it true you're getting stuck on the shelf?
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
[Verse 1]
Don't tell me what I will do
'Cause I won't
Don't tell me to believe in you
'Cause I don't
Be on your guard, better hostile and hard
Don't risk affection
Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone
You're still looking for the resurrection
[Pre-Chorus]
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
And I'll tell you, straight in the eye, hey!
[Chorus]
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
[Verse 2]
Everyone wants to be what he not
What he not
Nobody happy with what he got
What he got
You function like a dummy with a new ventriloquist
Can you say nothing yourself?
Hanging like a thriller on the final twist
Is it true you're getting stuck on the shelf?
[Pre-Chorus]
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
And I'll tell you, straight in the eye, hey!
[Chorus]
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
[Bridge]
When things get so big
I don't trust them at all
You want some control
You've got to keep it small, hey
[Chorus]
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
And I'll tell you, straight in the eye, hey!
[Chorus]
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
D.I.Y. (Do it yourself)
[Bridge]
When things get so big
I don't trust them at all
You want some control
You've got to keep it small, hey
[Chorus]
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y., D.I.Y
D.I.Y
