Lyrics

1. ‘Way soon this mornin’
   I come rappin’ at your door
   You kept me waitin’
   Like you never did before
   That’s a sure sign, brown skin
   I’ll never rap no more (no more)

Chorus
How come you do me like you do, do, do
How come you do me like you do
Why do you try to make me feel so blue
I ain’t done nuthin’ to you
Do me right or else just let me be
‘Cause I can beat you doin’ what you’re doin’ to me
How come you do me like you do, do, do
How come you do me like you do

2. Sat up ’til daybreak
   Couldn’t even sleep a wink
   My mind was wand’rin’
   All I did was think and think
   The way I’ve been treated
   Would drive a man to drink (to drink)

Chorus
How come you do me like you do, do, do
How come you do me like you do
Why do you try to make me feel so blue
I ain’t done nuthin’ to you
If you rave I’ll have to get you told
For I can change your temperature from hot to cold
How come you do me like you do, do, do
How come you do me like you do
