The Verb To Do

If you or I don't say it who's going to
We can dance around it or dance for truth
We sit here conjugating every variation through
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 their taught to use
Is the verb to do
