Do to & do about
Hello, everyone.
Do you listen to M2M's songs?
Er, I have got a question about the lyric from their song.
What's the difference between "do about me" and "do to me"?
I am really confused. And when I consult my teacher, she said there had been no differences between each. And what's you suggestions?
Thanks

Do to me and do about me have quite different meanings.
Do to refers to a direct action against you.
Do about refers to an indirect action against you.
"What are you going to do to me?"
"I'm going to punch you on the nose!"
*** - this is what the bully is doing to the victim!
"Ouch that hurt!"
"yeah, well what can yo

Hello Nicolle and Pieanne
'We are meant to be' also seems to be a play on words. People say 'it was meant to be!', or 'it just isn't meant to be!', to mean 'it was preordained!' and 'fate has decreed otherwise!' respectively.
In this case, the lyricist has transposed 'it' into 'we'.
'We' here = 'the new entity {you + me}'. So 'we are meant to be' means '{you + me} i
