Story Behind the Song
The motivation for this song was due to negative press regarding a few athletes that were accused of using drugs. These athletes who are looked upon as role models, failed their expectations miserably. This song was written as a Testament of a youth who had a role model while growing up, that actually "met the grade." The youth states that the positive lifestyle of his role model directly influenced him. Henceforth, "You Do It For Me."
Lyrics
While watching T.V.,
My eyes used to glow,
And as I was growing,
Sports was my biggest show,
Movie stars, were my idols,
Something I wanted to be,
I needed a hero,
To satisfy me -
Someone to pin on the wall,
Who’ll be there should I fall,
And show me what I should do,
How to dress, act, be cool,
Oooh oooh, yeah that’s you -
You do it for me, Of Of all the people I’ve seen, Like you I just want to be, Show me the way,(yeah,yeah,yeah) Please be my guide, (yeah,yeah,yeah) A role model you are, (yeah,yeah,yeah) I want you there by my side,(yeah,yeah,yeah) You do it for me...
....You’re number one of a few, (for me)
I always look up to,
It’s a job,
A weight on your shoulders, each day
(for me)
Responsibilities yours, (for me)
To open up your doors,
Set an example,
Show us the way,
While in the limelight you stay....
Someone to pin on the wall,
Who’ll be there should I fall,
And show me what I should do,
How to dress, act, be cool,
Oooh oooh, yeah that’s you -
You do it for me, Of Of all the people I’ve seen, Like you I just want to be, Show me the way,(yeah,yeah,yeah) Please be my guide, (yeah,yeah,yeah) A role model you are, (yeah,yeah,yeah) I want you there by my side,(yeah,yeah,yeah) You do it for me...
....You’re number one of a few, (for me)
I always look up to,
It’s a job,
A weight on your shoulders, each day
(for me)
Responsibilities yours, (for me)
To open up your doors,
Set an example,
Show us the way,
While in the limelight you stay....
You do it for me, Of Of all the people I’ve seen, Like you I just want to be, Show me the way,(yeah,yeah,yeah) Please be my guide, (yeah,yeah,yeah) A role model you are, (yeah,yeah,yeah) I want you there by my side,(yeah,yeah,yeah) You do it for me...
