🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • What are you doing, love?
  • What are you doing?
  • What are you doing to me?
  • What are you doing, love?

Echo the hook

  • You've been running 'round, running 'round
  • Running 'round, throwing that dirt all on my name
  • 'Cause you knew that I, knew that I
  • Knew that I'd call you up
