Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks &Â The Temptations]
You’ve 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 have been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could have been some perfume[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
Well, you could have 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 (Ah baby)
The way you do the things you do
