n the music video, directed by Phil Harder in Minneapolis,[4] it shows scenes of Lisa Loeb in black and white singing on an upside-down microphone and also lying down on the feather floor (like in the album's cover) then singing and playing guitar in a psychedelic room with several dancers around her. It also features paintings of her as well as the lyrics in some scenes (during Pop-up Video, the words would pop up in the same font as the words in the drawings, and the "I will" parts have the percentages).
In our interview with Lisa Loeb, the singer/songwriter explained: "'I Do' is a song that people often tell me they relate to as a relationship song, but it was written like a number of other songs I've heard have been written: about the record company asking for more music. When I felt like my record was done, they wanted to hear a single. And the song was, 'You don't hear it, but I do. When I'm done with thinking, then I'm done with you.' It's like, you know what? I'm fed up with you. I was fed up with the record company. 'When I'm done with crying, then I'm done with you.' And I was using some really straightforward lyrics, like 'When I'm done with crying,' I wasn't literally crying over the record company. But it just seemed really easy to sing, and I was trying to write something that was not so wordy, and not so poetic. Something that was really straightforward that people could understand when they heard it immediately. 'Everybody feels this way sometime,' da da da da da, 'I do. You don't hear it, but I do.' Literally, the record company said they didn't hear a single. And it was so annoying, because they had already told me they did, and then here they were coming back saying that they didn't. I guess a relationship with a record company is somewhat of a relationship, although you put up with things with a record company that you would never put up with in a relationship. That's what that song started as, but I'm sure I probably took things from real relationship issues."
When I'm done with thinking Then I'm done with you And when I'm done with crying And then I'm done with you When I feel so tired Then I'm done with you You know, everybody feels this way sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it, but I do You can't hear it, but I do You're trying to convince me That what I've done's not right And I get so frustrated I stay up every night You ask me for an answer And I'm so tired and I'm up in the air, I'm up in the air You know, everybody feels this way sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it, but I do You can't hear it, but I'm feeling this way Just because you say I will be ignored and I will be denied And I could be erased, I could be brushed aside And I will get scared and I will get shoved down But I feel like I do because you push me around I'm starting to ignore you Now, I doubted you so long I'm tired of over-thinking I know you don't belong Now I'm asking questions No one pushes me around You know, everybody feels this ways sometimes Everybody feels this way And I do You can't hear it, but I do You don't seem angry, but I do I do I do I do You don't seem angry, but I do You don't hear it, but I do I, I do You can't hear it, but I do I do You don't seem angry, but I do I do You don't hear it, but I do
