I first heard “Do You?” by Iffy the Bad Man a few weeks ago, and have only fallen more in love with it since then. There’s something about the song’s lyrics and sound that I just adore. For me, it brings to mind a neo-soul sound, a la Amy Winehouse and Duffy, and makes me visualize those great all-male groups of the ’60s, like The Temptations, all lined up in a neat row, dressed in tuxes with sparkly jackets, as they sing a song like this. Were it not for that free Sirius XM subscription that came with buying my Elantra, I never would’ve heard this song. And, boy, am I ever glad I did. Because it never fails to make me happy when I hear it. This song — and Iffy himself — deserve to be so big.
When you’re home and all alone / If I’m ever on your mind / It’s a sign that we should be together
Oh I try to make it work / But your listening to her / And that’s why we couldn’t make it better
I’m falling behind myself, no I can’t move on / We don’t even speak anymore / I can’t close my eyes, I’m up all night long, and baby / I miss you more than before
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you / Oh I hope you didn’ forget about me / You know your friends say that you’re lonely / But what if I told you I was too?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Do you still think about me?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Oh do you still think about me?
Oh baby come on, you know I didn’t mean that
You said you want a break / Baby I don’t wanna wait / What If I was to show up at you door? / When I think about us and what our love once was / It’s just something I can’t ignore.
I’m falling behind myself, no I can’t move on / We don’t even speak anymore / I can’t close my eyes, I’m up all night long / And baby I miss you more than before
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you / Oh I hope you didn’ forget about me / You know your friends say that you’re lonely / But what if I told you I was to?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Do you still think about me?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Oh do you still think about me?
Burning through my veins like that acid rain / I’ve been following your tracks / Gonna catch that train / I don’t wanna play this game, but I can’t complain / ‘Cause your loving is enough to drive a man insane
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you / Oh I hope you didn’t forget about me / You know your friends say that you’re lonely / But what if I told you I was too?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Do you still think about me?
Oh-oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Oh do you still think about me?
Oh-Oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Do you still think about me?
Oh-Oh do you / Do do do / Do you / Oh do you still think about me?
(Spoken) Oh baby, I know you still think about me, I know you do / I know you dream about me at night, I think I do too
Ha ha, your amazing and your breath / Your breath doesn’t stink, Your breath smells good at night / I like that. / I like that alot.
