Itâs another fine day in the worldâs biggest one-horse town
Grown-up children at play in the kingdom of light and sound
Itâs the start of the hour of the next greatest power-to-be
Iâm that downtown contender, yeah â
You find exactly what you need in me
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Letâs get away from here
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Whatever you do/donât fear
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
I thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
What you do/donât run, donât run, donât run
Yes, the bronze is so dirty on my
Statue in the square downtown
Once it shone like a heroâs helmet
It shone like a crown
You could call on your sister
Even call the little mister with the candy-kilo pound
But itâs been a little while
Since they all came up to smile
up at my statue in the square downtown
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
What will tomorrow bring?
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Itâs never a do/donât thing
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Itâs simply a matter of
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Whatever you do for love
Now I made a deal for my future
I was needlessly obscure
But I did not see the downside, yes
I got to go back on tour
First call session or jingle
Is that a deal, that allure?
Evârybody is building their statues
Is it a curse or cure?
Now Iâm honored by money
Hey, my name is even carved in stone
They tell me Iâm dug by the millions
Cool to the proverbial bone
Now my managerâs exiled
He just did not have the style
And one more time Iâm on my own
From Porcaro to the Prine
Forever you will find
They all got statues in the square downtown
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Letâs get away from here
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Whatever you do/donât fear
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
What you do/donât run, donât run, donât run
Yes, that bronze is so dirty on my
Statue in the square downtown
Iâve got my eye on that record guy
Chasinâ him all around town
Get the video rotation
To sweep the very nation
With the perfect platinum sound
Iâm a musical magician, there is no competition
Another statue in the square downtown
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Letâs get away from here
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Whatever you do/donât fear
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
I thought you were having fun
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
What you do/donât run, donât run
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
What will tomorrow bring?
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Itâs never a do/donât thing
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Simply a matter of
Hey, did you know you never did do this before
Whatever you do for love
Whatever you do for love, for love
Whatever you do for love, for love
Whatever you do for love
Whatever you do for love
Do for love
You do for love...
