That Thing You Do - Billie Joe Armstrong Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You doing that thing you do
Breaking my heart into a million pieces like you always do
And you don't mean to be cruel
You never even knew about the heartache I’ve been going through

[Chorus]
Well, I try and try to forget you, girl, but it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I know all the games you play, and I'm gonna find a way
To let you know that you’ll be mine someday

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause we could be happy, can't you see? If you'd only let me
Be the one to hold you and keep you here with me

[Chorus]
'Cause I try and try to forget you, girl, but it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do

[Bridge]
I don't ask a lot, girl (I don't ask a lot, girl)
But I know one thing’s for sure (know one thing’s for sure)
It's the love I haven’t got, girl
And I just can't take it anymore
[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause we could be happy, can't you see? If you’d only let me
Be the one to hold you and keep you here with me

[Chorus]
'Cause it hurts me so just to see you go around with someone new
And if I know you, you're doing that thing
Everyday, just doing that thing
I can't take you doing that thing you do
