This Is What We Do
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by The Cars (You Might Think)
A-well-a you might think it’s crazy
A-well-a you might think it’s crazy
To take a classic song
To take a classic song
And mess with all the lyrics
And mess with all the lyrics
You might think it’s just wrong
You might think it’s just wrong
But we do it all the time
But we do it all the time
We love to make things rhyme
We love to make things rhyme
You might think we’re foolish
You might think we’re foolish
And that could well be true
And that could well be true
(You might think) You might think it’s silly
(You might think) You might think it’s silly
But this is what we do
But this is what we do
We just think it's hysterical
We just think it's hysterical
To spend our afternoons
To spend our afternoons
Our evenings and our mornings
Our evenings and our mornings
Writing all these tunes
Writing all these tunes
Yes it takes all our time
Yes it takes all our time
And we don’t earn a dime
And we don’t earn a dime
You might think it’s foolish
You might think it’s foolish
The hoops that we jump through
The hoops that we jump through
(Just to make) Just to make you chuckle
(Just to make) Just to make you chuckle
But this is what we do
But this is what we do
And it is hard, to contemplate
And it is hard, to contemplate
Articulate, make it sound great
Articulate, make it sound great
But we keep composing
But we keep composing
'till the sun goes down
'till the sun goes down
We keep com-posing
We keep com-posing
Well it might make you delirious
Well it might make you delirious
Writing for our band
Writing for our band
But somewhere sometimes,
But somewhere sometimes,
if you're curious
if you're curious
You should try your hand
You should try your hand
And I think in due time
And I think in due time
You could learn to rhyme
You could learn to rhyme
You might think it’s foolish
You might think it’s foolish
But wait till your debut
But wait till your debut
(You won’t think) You won’t think we’re crazy
(You won’t think) You won’t think we’re crazy
(Cuz now you) Cuz now you do it too
(Cuz now you) Cuz now you do it too
This is what we do
This is what we do
This is what, we do
This is what, we do
