Do Ya

Lyrics and music by Jeffrey Lynne

In this life I've seen ev'rything I can see, woman
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've see babies dancin' in the midnight sun
I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men cryin' at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sittin' watchin' picture slides
But I never seen nothin' like you
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?

Well, I heard the crowd singin' out of tune
As they sat and sang Auld Lang Syne
By the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums
But I never heard nothin' like you

In the country where the sky
Touches down on the field
She lay her down to rest in the mornin' sun
They came a-runnin' just to get a look
Just to feel, to touch her long black veil
They don't give a damn

Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?

Well I think you understand
What I'm tryin' to say, woman
That is, I'd like to save you for a rainy day
I've seen enough of the world to know
That I've got to get it all
To get it all to grow

Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?

Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my love?
Do ya, do ya want my face?
Do ya, do ya want my mind?

Look out baby, there's a plane a-comin'
