Album: Feel That Fire
Album Release Date: February 3, 2009
Label: Capital Records Nashville
Producer: Brett Beavers and Dierks Bentley
Track 13: “Do It Well”
Single Release Date: n/a
My Thoughts/Interpretation/Insights: Some of you may have thought that I would be done exploring this album as most versions of the album only have 12 tracks. The iTunes version of the album, however, has 14 tracks. I’m not sure if you can get the extra two tracks anywhere else.
This track has our narrator trying to convince a girl that he can love her better than anyone else. All the rest of the boys lining up to be with her will only break her heart, but he feels he has what it takes to show her true love. The song itself is enjoyable, but not one of the stronger songs on the album. Certainly not a bad song, but I can understand if the album had to be kept to 12 tracks why this one may have not made the cut. I would love to know how many tracks Dierks has in the vault that have never been released. I hope we get a box set one day that pulls some of these out!
What do you think of the song? Have you heard it before? Do you like it? Do you know if it is available anywhere besides the iTunes version of the album?
Listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics below! Enjoy!
Do It Well
Written by Radney Foster and Dierks Bentley
I’m here to break your heart baby one last time
‘Cause I know what I’m going to say will make you cry
But love’s too precious to watch you waste it all
I’m not here to hurt you I’m here to catch your fall
There’s a long row of heartaches lining up in front of you
Fool after fool trying to see what he can do
Don’t you ever get tired of buying what they’re trying to sell
I’m not saying I’m perfect, hell nobody is
But I’m man enough to hold your tenderness
And if you let me love you I’ll do it well
I’d give anything if you could see the world through my eyes
‘Cause the pain and the price you’re paying is way too high
You been looking for any safe harbor in the storm
But I’m the only one who can mend what’s tattered and torn
There’s a long row of heartaches lining up in front of you
Fool after fool trying to see what he can do
Don’t you ever get tired of buying what they’re trying to sell
I’m not saying I’m perfect, hell nobody is
But I’m man enough to hold your tenderness
And if you let me love you I’ll do it well
Do it well
Like there’s no tomorrow
Do it well
And kiss away all of your sorrow
Not like that long row of heartaches lining up in front of you
Fool after fool trying to see what he can do
Don’t you ever get tired of buying what they’re trying to sell
I’m not saying I’m perfect, hell nobody is
But I’m man enough to hold your tenderness
And if you let me love you I’ll do it well
Baby, if you let me love you I’ll do it well
