Ross (1983 album)
Ross is a 1983 album by the American entertainer Diana Ross, her third released on the RCA label. It was released shortly before Ross gave a pair of free concerts in New York's Central Park. The album reached #32 on the US charts, #14 on the US R&B charts and #44 in the UK. It has never been reissued as a digital download. The album's highest international chart position was in Sweden, where it reached #7.
Five of the eight tracks were produced by Gary Katz, two by Ray Parker Jr and one by Ross. The album's first single, "Pieces of Ice", peaked at #31 on the US charts. Subsequent singles "Up Front" (US R&B #60, UK #79) and "Let's Go Up" (US #77) were also minor hits. "Up Front" was remixed by Jolley & Swain for its European release. The album's final US sales were slightly higher than 250,000 copies.
The album was remastered and re-released in September 2014 by Funky Town Grooves, as an "Expanded Edition" with bonus material.

You Do It
You don't have to say you love me every day, you do it
You don't have to try to keep me satisfied, you do it
Look what you have done, you're the only one who can take
me away
When you can't be mine, I spend all my time just waiting
'Till you come back around, ''cause no one else I've
found can do it
The way you do it to me when you love me
(I really do love the way that you do it)
When I need to feel the way I love to feel, you do it,
yes you do it
And I can't live without the way that you know how to do
Tell me what did I do right, to get you in my life, where
I need you to stay
At times it almost seems, I stepped into a dream when you
hold me
I guess I'm trying to say, can't do without the way you
do it
The way you do it to me when you love me
(I really do love the way that you do it)
(repeats 2x)
(You do it - I really do love the way that you do it)
You don't have to say you love me every day, you do it
(I really do love the way that you do it)
You don't have to try to keep me satisfied, you do it,
yes you do
