the way you do the things you do - original broadway cast of ain't too proud lyrics

[eddie kendricks & the temptations]
you’ve got a smile so bright

[eddie]
you know you could have been a candle

[eddie & the temptations]
i’m holding you so tight

[eddie]
you know you could have been a handle

[eddie & the temptations]
the way you swept me off my feet

[eddie]
you know you could have been a broom

[eddie & the temptations]
the way you smell so sweet

[eddie]
you know you could have been some perfume

[eddie & the temptations]
well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
and i can tell

[eddie]
the way you do the things you do

[the temptations]
the way you do the things you do, the way you do the things you do

[eddie & the temptations]
as pretty as you are

[eddie]
you know you could have been a flower

[eddie & the temptations]
if good looks was a minute

[eddie]
you know that you could be an hour

[eddie & the temptations]
the way you stole my heart

[eddie]
you know you could have been a cool crook

[eddie & the temptations]
and baby you’re so smart

[eddie]
you know you should have been a schoolbook

[eddie & the temptations]
well, you could have been anything that you wanted to
and i can tell

[eddie]
the way you do the things you do

[the temptations]
the way you do the things you do

[otis williams, spoken]
“the way you do the things you do”. remember that? our first song on the charts. took us twenty-four singles before we got it, definitely didn’t think we had a hit with those lyrics. “you got a smile so bright, you know you coulda been a candle”. ain’t exactly langston hughes, but we made history together, all of us. buildin’ this group was some kinda testimony of will. like a shepherd, herdin’ sheep up the mountain to stand before the almighty. when you finally reach the summit, you realize all the flock have scattered and you the only one left. that’s when it’s time to… revisit your journey, measure if it was worth the cost of losin’ your brothers. david, eddie, paul, melvin. the cl-ssic men who built the temptations. with these men, oh, i felt the most magic i ever felt in my life. but if i’m gonna be measured right, i got to start at the beginning
