Discover the story of the song > What You Do – Chrisette Michele

The protagonist is tired of her partner just saying "I'm sorry" and "I love you", without any real actions to back up those words. She needs proof of their love and commitment, and for them to show it through their actions. This has happened many times before, but she can't forgive just based on words anymore, she needs to see it in their behavior. The chorus repeats that she needs proof and that their love is all in what they do, not just what they say.
