Doing The Thing

The Dip

We've been doing the thing for a minute
And your heart just ain't in it
Ain't no sense in pretending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending

We've been doing the thing for a minute
And your heart just ain't in it
Ain't no sense in pretending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending

I tried, and tried, and tried to love you
Exactly the way that you wanted me to
And then a couple of months gone by
And I could see
That I ain't who you want me to be, oh!

We've been doing the thing for a minute
And your heart just ain't in it
Ain't no sense in pretending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending

We've been doing the thing for a minute
And your heart just ain't in it
Ain't no sense in pretending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending

Well baby, please, don't string me along with that song and dance
I ain't lookin' for a pre-fab romance
Well, you ain't doing me any favors keeping me on the line
Ain't nothin' but wasted time, oh!

We've been doing the thing for a minute
And your heart just ain't in it
Ain't no sense in pretending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending
You ain't pickin' up what I'm sending
(Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
(Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
(Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
(Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
(Ooh! Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
(Ooh! Pickin' up what I'm sending!)
