Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: DID/DIDN’T/DO/DON’T/DOES/DOESN’T
The first song that came to mind is a golden oldie. I love it. The song is called “How Do You Do It”. I just could not decide whether to feature the recording by The Beatles or Gerry And The Pacemakers. So, in the end I have chosen to give you the choice of which version you prefer to listen to. I don’t think there is much difference between the two versions.
The lyrics are kind of simple really – but they do the trick! And I am sure I have been singing this song for most of my life, it was so easy to learn.
I was thinking about Jack the other day. How he does what he does to me…I really have no clue! Like an arrow straight through my heart! I suppose he thinks he’s smart…coming back into my life after four years of silence and making me fall for him! I can’t fathom the hold he has on me. So I am just going to content myself with enjoying it! It sure is nice to have him around. I am so glad he reached out to me. He has made me very happy indeed.
How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I’d do it to you
How do you do what you do to me?
I’m feeling blue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven’t a clue
You give me a feeling in my heart, ooh-la-la
Like an arrow piercing through it
I suppose that you think you’re very smart
But won’t you tell me how do you do it?
How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
If I knew how you do it to me
I’d do it to you
You give me a feeling in my heart, ooh-la-la
Like an arrow piercing through it
I suppose that you think you’re very smart
But won’t you tell me how do you do it?
How do you do what you do to me?
I wish I knew
Wish I knew how you do it to me
But I haven’t a clue
Wish I knew how you do it to me
I’d do it to you
Wish I knew how you do it to me
I’d do it to you

Gerry & The Pacemakers put a lot more energy behind this than The Beatles. As I remember, The Fab Four were less than thrilled with it. Good choice!

The audience in the Gerry And The Pacemakers video did not look all that enthusiastic in that video. A great song Mel thanks for sharing it.

I love this one, Mel. Don’t you think it sounds amazingly fresh-faced, without any world-weariness. Or is that just me?

It’s great to know Jack makes you happy long may it last. I have to say I always preferred Gerry and the Pacemakers version hands over fists better 💜

Jack is being so lovely.
It’s funny I always think Beatles when I hear this song, but now I will think Gerry & The Pacemakers after comparing the two videos.
