What We`re Gonna Do About It

What We`re Gonna Do About It Lyrics

(Lee Thomas Miller/Chris DuBois)


Ok, picture this: I'm standing in the world's longest line at Starbucks

You know the one down on

Yeah right that one

Anyway, I'm standing there

I'm half asleep, of coruse no make-up on

And this guy I've never seen before taps me on the shoulder

I turn around and he says!


Did you know there's 35 Starbucks and 3 million people in Atlanta

The odds of you and me being in the very same line are staggering

Is it coincidence or is there a power bigger than you and me

That made us both crave a three dollar cup of coffee


How lame is that? And that's not the end of it, before I could say anything he goes:


Hey, hey, hey tell me can you feel it

It's filling up the room, there's something going on

See that little speaker in the ceiling

Listen real close it's playing our song

Looks like fate has finally found us

It's got us surrounded

So tell me

What we're gonna do about it


He started singing! there's some strange guy in Starbucks singing to me in line

Everybody's staring I was so embarassed and I'm thinking who is this freak!


I know what you're thinking

You're thinking man this guy's a total freak

You think the case I'm making for destiny is a little weak

Well your shirt is yellow, my shirt is blue, my favorite color's green

Pretty amazing if you know what I mean


Well no, I don't know what that means! What does that mean?


Hey, hey, hey tell me can you feel it

It's filling up the room, there's something going on

See that little speaker in the ceiling

Listen real close it's playing our song

Looks like fate has finally found us

It's got us surrounded

So tell me

What we're gonna do about it


Come on now you have to admit

We couldn't have written a better script

What a great story to tell our kids


Hey, hey, hey tell me can you feel it

It's filling up the room, there's something going on

See that little speaker in the ceiling

Listen real close it's playing our song

Looks like fate has finally found us

It's got us surrounded

So tell me

What we're gonna do about it


True story, I know, I couldn't believe it either

What does he look like? Well I'll put it to you like this:


I've got to go he's gonna be here any minute

No I'm not kidding!

I'm serious, I've got to go, I'll call you later

Okay, bye
