Overview
"I Do", along with "Always" is an unusual Green-era track by Weezer, in that it does not feature the full band on the recording. The song was written relatively late, while The Green Album was already in production, but did not appear on the final album. It was released as a b-side and as a bonus track on some international editions of Green, and was performed live at every show during the Yahoo! Outloud Tour, as the set's opening number.
The Catalog O' Riffs contains two separate entries for #276, "I Do" and "Let It Ride". It is unknown if the two songs share the same structure or if this is a numbering error.
Reception
While enjoyed by some, the song is sometimes derided for its similarity to the 1989 Billy Joel song "Leningrad". Rivers Cuomo called Billy Joel one of his "all time favs" when the comparison was pointed out on the weezer.com forums in 2002 [1].

Lyrics
All the times you came
I should've ran away
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
And the games you played
Were meant to lead me on
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
Always, oooh always
I do
You told me that you'd always love me
You told me that you'd always love me
Never more again
Will I believe the sun
