Unapologetically honest, ‘Do You Work Out?’ asks the question not of body, but of mind. Colourful in sound and movement, verses write the story while the repeated line in choruses hold strong with a danceable drum beat, solid backing vocals and horn like synth harmonies. A throw back to 90s pop culture that breathes in a whole lot of life.
lyrics
Seein’ in the foggy new year
Rose coloured glasses on you dear
So how, do you work out?
Miracles have happened lately
I brought you to meet my family
So how, do you still doubt?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
(Mother, mother, mother)
If you don’t believe what you see
Then I’d rather you away from me
I don’t want you closer, or I won’t see my mother
Monkey’s do what monkeys see
They see all the things in front of me
So how, do you still doubt?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
I read the news today, I heard the radio playin’, they were
Singing songs of love, next to word that people are dying
I have been deliberating, meditating on your bating
If you say you work out
Deprecating not invading, it’s just not about you baby
If you say you work out
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
Do you work out?
How do you work out?
How do you work out?
How do you work, How do you work, How do you work out?
