Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's my thing
I can do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
It's my thing
I can do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
[Verse 2]
You don't want me to love you
It ain't no big deal
You don't wanna leave me, man
It ain't no big deal
I don't need love
As bad as you
Make me no difference
Who you sock it to
[Verse 3]
It's my thing
I can do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
[Verse 4]
It's my thing
[Verse 5]
I'm not hurt
For your love
But, it's pathetic, baby
I gotta be on the alert
I'll do anything
Anything I choose
I just can't be at the window
Stopped for you
[Verse 6]
That's your thing, my thing
Do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
It's my thing
I can do what I wanna do
You can't tell me, no
Who to sock it to
[Verse 7]
Don't want me to love you
Ain't no big deal
You don't wanna leave me, man
It ain't no big deal
I don't need love
As bad as you
Makes no difference
Who you sock it to
[Verse 8]
Oh, it's my thing
Do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
It's my thing
I can do what I wanna do
You can't tell me
Who to sock it to
