Lyrics

I'LL DO

VERSE I
I'm a short, little Filipino.
I'm coping how 'bout you?
I get tired of looking up at people
and laughing right on cue.
Would you like my perfect tan that
lasts me through the year?
Caught between things black and white,
I have nothing to fear.

Why do I get so uptight?
I think I may. I think I might
take a break, go fly a kite
real soon.

VERSE II
I'm a short, little Filipino.
I don't speak out that loud.
When I'm out, I try not to mingle.
I get lost in the crowd.
I am always dancing in a
box around my head.
When the music starts to move I crawl
back in instead.

CHORUS
I'm looking for a clearer patch of sky.
I'm checking out of this old room.
Won't anybody look me in the eye
and not be so tired, not be so blue?
Cuz soon, I'll do.

VERSE III
I'm a short, little Filipino
I strain to hear the sound
of a voice that keeps telling me to
move to higher ground.
But when I think I've finally
reached a new plateau
I am dancing in a box
where I already know

that I get lost. I get uptight.
I look outside. I see a sight.
I think I may. I think I might.
I?ll do.
