"Do Ya" - the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Jeff Lynne originally did this song with the Move in 1971, the same year ELO was
launched. The Move version is very similiar, but the lead is different.
The ELO version originally appeared on "A New World Record", but also appears
on "Greatest Hits", "Burning Bright", and "Strange Magic: the Best of ELO". An
alternative version also appears on "Flashback"; it has more leads than the original.
Jeff Lynne wrote the song.

Do ya do ya want my face (I need it)
Do ya do ya want my mind (I'm sayin')
Do ya do ya want my love
Verse:
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.
Chorus:
D A G A I don't know what Jeff is
Do ya do ya want my love saying in the background vocals.
Do ya do ya want my face It sounds like Amanda or Commander
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love

DDo ya do ya want my loFve, dGo ya do ya want my lFoveD
That does it.
