Lyrics
[Chorus]
It's your thing
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
It's your thing
Do what you wanna do now
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
[Verse 1]
If you want me to love you
Maybe I will, ha
I need me a woman
It ain't no big deal
Ah, you need love now
Just as bad as I do
Makes me no difference now
Who you give your thing to
[Chorus]
Oh, it's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
It's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do now
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
[Verse 2]
Ah, hey
Alright
Lord, have mercy
[Chorus]
Oh, it's your thing
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to, hit me, band
It's your thing, girl (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do, woo
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
[Verse 3]
I'm not tryin' to run your life
I know you wanna
Do what's right
Ah, give your love, girl
To whomever you choose
How can you lose?
With the stuff you use now
[Chorus]
It's your thing (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
It's your thing, yeah (It's your thing)
Do what you wanna do
Don't let me tell you
Who to sock it to
[Outro]
Let me hear you say, it's my thing (It's your thing)
I do what I wanna do
I can't tell you
Who to sock it to
