The Verb To Do

If you or I don’t say it who’s going to
We can dance around it or dance for the truth
We sit here conjugating every variation through
Of the verb to do
Now I don’t want to hang it all on you
If blame must be allotted, I’ll take some too
But someone just say «Damn it, I need to be tonight with you»
The verb to do
If I don’t seem to want it, if it won’t show through
It’s only because it has me paralysed for want of loving you
So if you and I don’t make it, well who’s going to
Why can’t we just state it bold as blue
Look out over this city — the first word they’re taught to use
Is the verb to do
