This Will Do lyrics:

You at the show
From the crowd you look, I'm lookin' back at you
Beautiful up in your black dress
And you wanna meet me bad so
Exit stage, left and say "Hello"
Take your hand, you're ready to go
Maybe 'cause she already knows
Maybe 'cause

Baby, 'cause I'm your favorite
Man, I hate this, but ain't complainin'
Get a kiss or two
'Cause you listen to me
This ain't real, but this'll do

Far from love and
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through
On these instrumentals
Far from love and
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through
On these instrumentals

You at the show
This time you came in with the band, yeah
Beautiful up in the sound check
Is this love or is she actin'?
Don't say it, girl, already know
Take my hand, I'm in control
When the music stop, you let me go
It's just for the moment, it's just for the show

Baby, 'cause I'm your favorite
Man, I hate this, but ain't complainin'
Get a kiss or two
'Cause you listen to me
This ain't real, but this'll do

Far from love and
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through
On these instrumentals
Far from love and
Know it's because, I
Sing what I've been through
On these instrumentals

Giveon official bio:

Giveon has always used his raw, evocative songwriting to mine a confusing world for answers, and that approach has connected to the tune of over 2 billion global streams and nearly 1 billion YouTube views thus far. But, lately, he's been fixed on a problem he can't solve. As he puts it, “Sometimes the truth is rewarded, and sometimes it’s frowned upon. Do we want truth, or a little deception to make us feel better?” This sort of tension is at the heart of Giveon's work. “Lie Again” shows off the emotional curiosity and deep warmth of his songs over cinematic R&B arrangements. This sensitivity and love for storytelling traces back to his upbringing in Long Beach, CA, where his mother shielded him and his brothers from the area’s gang culture, and encouraged him to sing. After years of hustle, he bonded with producer Sevn Thomas (Drake, Rihanna) in 2019 and placed “Chicago Freestyle” on Drake’s mixtape Dark Lane Demo Tapes. Giveon's March 2020 debut EP Take Time held his first top 40 Hot 100 hit, “Heartbreak Anniversary,” and by March 2021, his When It’s All Said and Done… Take Time compilation debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. (It’s since gone Platinum, and “All to Me” went Gold—his 10th RIAA certification). The 7-time Grammy nominee has been hard at work on a follow-up, figuring out how to best share himself with all eyes on him.
