That Would Do It for Me Songtext

von Lou Rawls

Imagine me packing up boxes
Calling mom and dad
Telling them their first born son is gone
Picture me fighting back teardrops
As we lay you in the ground
I don't wanna have to be that strong
But that's what's gonna happen
If you keep on

Throwing your life down the drain
Putting that poison in your veins
Can't you see that it's killing me
And I love too much to let you go
Down with the devil on a dead end road
So you gotta stop
I'm begging you please
If you can't do it for you
Would you do it for me
Do it for me

I know your feeling so lonely
Like no one knows your pain
And you're wondering why God put you on this earth
Well I'd be lost without you
And I'm not the only one
Who doesn't wanna see you get hurt
So everything you're going through
It's not worth

Throwing your life down the drain
Putting that poison in your veins
Can't you see that it's killing me
And I love too much to let you go
Down with the devil on a dead end road
So you gotta stop
I'm begging you please
If you can't do it for you
Would you do it for me
Do it for me

I know you can do this
I have faith
Just prove me right
Before it's too late

‘Cause I love you too much to let you go
Down with the devil on a dead end road
So you gotta stop I'm begging you please
If you can't do it for you
If you can't do it for you
Would you do it for me
Do it for me
I know you can do this
