    We try and avoid doing the things in relationships that don't help, but somehow we keep doing them. This is tough, but you get to some place of acceptance and love, or at least accept, even the horrid bits of someone.

    Story Behind the Song
    Written in the midst of starting a new relationship, being honest about the struggle as well as the pleasure. It wrote itself over a couple of days. Recording it involved getting the basic guitar/vocal track down then overdubbing the harmonies,

    Lyrics
    We do what we do

    Don’t you ever wonder why I keep talking to myself
    Like I’m trying to get some sense in here?
    There isn’t anything I say makes a difference to the way
    I keep treating you

    This ain’t no halfway desire
    Baptism only come with fire, oh baby
    Please take me just the way I am,
    and we’ll do what we do, what we do, what we do, what we do.

    Just a little thing you say, did you mean it that way?
    I see you slip away
    Just a little thing you do and it’s plain, it’s plain as day
    You’ll soon be on your way
    Now I can see you we can start
    Now that we’ve started we might part, oh baby
    Please take me just the way I am,
    and we’ll do what we do, what we do, what we do, what we do.

    In the quiet of the night we are picking at the bones
    And we both know we’re to blame
    How can two such ugly souls be as beautiful as this?
    Heaven only knows
    This ain’t no halfway desire
    Baptism only come with fire,
    We sing peculiar tune
    We marry under the moon, oh baby
    Please take me just the way I am,
    and we’ll do what we do, what we do, what we do, what we do.
