[Verse 1]
Don’t want to lose this
What’s it like in San Jose there?
I’m a thousand miles away, but girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Them chicks can’t shine as bright as you, I swear it’s true
Don’t want to lose this
Ain’t no thing about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it’s my disguise, I’m by your side

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

[Verse 2]
Don’t want to lose this
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl, somеday I’ll pay the bills as you spit hard
We’ll have it good
Wе’ll have the life we knew we would, my word is good
Don’t want to lose this
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even make you fall in love with me, as I emcee

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me

[Verse 3]
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our peeps would all make fun of us
And we’ll just laugh along because
We know that none of them have felt this way
Hey girl, I can promise you that by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same, and you’re to blame
Don’t want to lose this
You be good and don’t forget me
Two more years and you’ll be famous, true
And I’ll be making history like I do
You’ll know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Don’t want to lose this
Here’s to you
This one’s for you

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
What you do to me
Woh-oh, woh-oh…

[Verse 4]
I’m so enthralled by you
First time I saw you, was in awe of you
And your bars can set the bar for schools of rhyme
I have no time to be infatuated
But your raps are sacred
And attractive
You can capture nations’ imaginations
Little sis I almost had but she was taken
You’re my inspiration
Yesterday you had some trouble
Someday maybe you can make sure it never happens again
The rap game needs you
I’ll stop bleeding my feelings to you
Just promise to me that you will eat right and be nice and not be no silly girl
‘cause there’s something in the way you work your pen and mouth
I feel like I am on a cloud, sleeping, dreaming, fantasizing
But these things don’t happen I think
I’ve pinched myself into reality
I’m stoic Alex D
But look what you have done
I have moved on so
So do you, lil hun
And go on growing as an artist
Because you’re the hottest
Don’t let yourself get lost, kid
Ok?

[Chorus]
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
Oh, it’s what you do to me
It’s what you do to me
