The Verb To Do - Del Amitri

If you or I don’t say it who’s going to

We can dance around it or dance for the truth

We sit here conjugating every variation through

Of 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 they’re taught to use

Is the verb to do
