The lyrics of “Just Do It” follow a path that leads to a break up. Julia’s romantic partner, who has already set their mind about breaking up with Michaels, keeps leading her on, but she’d rather them to “just do it” in order to let herself move on more quickly.
[Verse 1]
I see it in your eyes
That you wanna tell me something
And I feel it, see the signs
That you wanna tell me something
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know we haven't been easy
But is it cause for us giving it up?
I know you've got your reasons
[Chorus]
So if you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
Don't let me down gently
If you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
I'll get over it eventually
[Verse 2]
You ask me, "How many times do you think we'll be on and off again?"
And I'll tell you "just this time"
'Cause I don't think that I could do it all again, no, no
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know it hasn't been easy
But is it cause for us giving it up?
I know you've got your reasons
[Chorus]
So if you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
Don't let me down gently
If you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
I'll get over it eventually
Before I'm too invested
Don't make your words selective
If you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
Don't let me down gently
[Bridge]
Baby, at least it would be better than this
Baby, at least it would be better than this
[Chorus]
So if you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
Don't let me down gently (it would be better)
If you're gonna do it
Then, baby, just do it
I'll get over it eventually (it would be better)
Before I'm too invested
Don't make your words selective
If you're gonna do it
Then baby, just do it
Don't let me down gently (it would be better)
