The Things We Do

We wash our clothes, we press our shirts
We brush our teeth and we go to work
We fill our tanks and we wax our cars
We edge our driveways and mow our yards

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do
(All the things that we do)

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
And then there's the things we wanna do

I wanna kiss some guy that I don't know
Buy a one way ticket down to Mexico
Para sail and learn to fly
And skinny dip in paradise

But I tie my shoes and I exercise
And I sit up straight and I stand in line
And I paint my walls and I fill my cracks
And every April fools, I figure out my tax

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do
(All the things that we do)

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
And then there's the things we wanna do

I wanna throw my food in a restaurant
Take two weeks off any time I want
Climb everest and see the world
Ride a big black Harley like a gypsy girl

But I pour my milk and I eat my flakes
And every once a year I get to cut my cake
And I want my watch and I pay my rent
And sometimes I wonder where my life went

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do
(All the things that we do)

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
And then there's the things we wanna do

I wanna take the concord to Paris, France
Learn gourmet cookin' and how to dance
Win the lottery and give it all away
Those homeless need some place to stay

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
Yea, all the things that we do
(All the things that we do)

There's the things that we do
(There's the things that we do)
And then there's the things we wanna do
