[Verse 1]
You push me past my own capacity, boy
Permission to crash, collectin' damages, boy
No reachin' or grabbin' for more clarity now
Seek and destroy, all missiles deployed
[Chorus]
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
[Verse 2]
I can't stand it, the urge
Is so demandin', the purge
So necessary, the art of war
Goddamn it, I'm drained
Now that I've ruined everything, I cannot complain
Now that I've ruined everything, I'm so fuckin' free
Now that I've ruined everything, keep it all for me
Now that I've ruined everything, space is all I need
You push me past my own capacity, boy
Permission to crash, collectin' damages, boy
No reachin' or grabbin' for more clarity now
Seek and destroy, all missiles deployed
[Chorus]
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
[Verse 2]
I can't stand it, the urge
Is so demandin', the purge
So necessary, the art of war
Goddamn it, I'm drained
Now that I've ruined everything, I cannot complain
Now that I've ruined everything, I'm so fuckin' free
Now that I've ruined everything, keep it all for me
Now that I've ruined everything, space is all I need
[Chorus]
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
[Bridge]
Chasin' fatter ass and fake connections
Chasin' façades in all directions
Chances are I've got no direction
Beggin' my angels for protection (Do it to you, oh)
Danger arise and I deflect it
New dick arrives and I erect it
Beggin' my angels for protection
Thankin' my stars, livin' reckless, oh
[Chorus]
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
[Bridge]
Chasin' fatter ass and fake connections
Chasin' façades in all directions
Chances are I've got no direction
Beggin' my angels for protection (Do it to you, oh)
Danger arise and I deflect it
New dick arrives and I erect it
Beggin' my angels for protection
Thankin' my stars, livin' reckless, oh
[Chorus]
Do it to you
Do it to you
I had to do it to you
Do it to you, oh
Don't make me do it to you
Do it to you
Do it to you
I hate to do it to you, oh
Do what I gotta do, oh
[Outro]
All the pain I know
Is used to fuel my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, uh
All the hurt I know
Is used to heal my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, oh
All the pain I know
Is used to fuel my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, uh
All the hurt I know
Is used to heal my soul
No control
I do it to you, do it to you, oh
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This song explores the destructive capacities of love. Rather than heal, it hurts.
Although the pain motivates SZA to take drastic actions that presumably “ruin everything”, she feels freer than ever without her demanding man.
