As You Do Lyrics

If I told you once, I've told you again
I don't like it
You can have your fun, but don't fool with my head
I won't buy it

Be merciful when you think of me
And try and have some sympathy
'Cause nobody means as much to me
Nobody means as much to me
As you do

If I may recall, you said that you cared
About loving
I never thought I'd see you running scared
From this love thing, yeah

If you understand the things I say
Then there's no cause to be afraid
'Cause nobody can complete the day
Nobody can complete my day
As you do

Nobody can love
Ah, nobody can share
No one person can do anything that hurts me as much
As you do
Play it now
Oh, be merciful when you think of me
And try and have some sympathy
'Cause nobody means as much to me
Nobody means as much to me
As you do, well

(As you do) Nobody can love me now
(As you do) Nobody can make me feel as good
(As you do) Nobody can hurt me quite as much
(As you do) As you do
(As you do) Yeah
As you do
As you do, yeah
As you do

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 [?]
