lyrics

You Do It Well
by Thomas Bryan Eaton

I can’t tell, if I’m doing well
I can’t even talk to myself
about the things you’ve done to me
and you’re still doing

Now you run along, keep doing me wrong
You can’t even see yourself
and all the things that you don’t know
and the things that you ruin

But a day’s gonna come
when you’re gonna hurt yourself
you’ll be crying
over the hand that you’ve been dealt
but you do it anyway
and you do it well

Pick your clothes off the floor, walk out the door
but don’t you come crawling back in a while
when you need a friend,
yes you’re gonna need a friend.

I’ve seen what you do, yeah I’ve done it too
but you can’t go on, living like that
in a broke down palace
that you tore down yourself

if the sun shines right, it’ll burn your sight
but you’ll still feel the warmth on your skin
like the night when I held you tight
and you held me too

But a day’s gonna come
when you’re gonna hurt yourself
yes you’ll be crying
over the hand that you’ve been dealt
but you do it anyway
and you do it well

I can’t tell, if I’m doing well
I can’t even talk to myself
about the things you’ve done to me
and you’re still doing

Parlor Sounds
by Miss Tess with Thomas Bryan Eaton

supported by 4 fans who also own “You Do It Well”

Stellar songs and pristine performances. That very much defines Miss Tess and Thomas Bryan Eaton as artists extraordinaries. Many call their style Americana, folk, country, early rock ‘n’ roll, swing or jazz but to me it’s always great, quality songs delivered genuinely and with great heart and they deliver them in spades.
