[Verse 1]
You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
[Chorus]
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 2]
Girl as pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
[Chorus]
Little girl you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 3]
You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
[Chorus]
You could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 4]
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
[Chorus]
You could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume
[Chorus]
Well you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 2]
Girl as pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book
[Chorus]
Little girl you could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 3]
You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey
[Chorus]
You could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
[Verse 4]
As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook

You know you could have been a school book
[Chorus]
You could've been anything that you wanted to
And I can tell
The way you do the things you do
The way you do the things you do
