Go slow man they say
Do it this way
Don’t do it like that
Do it the normal way.

To hell with you
I’m a do what I do
I don’t run around
Telling you how to be you.

If I like a girl
I tell her how I feel
Girl don’t like it
That’s her deal.

She get scared off
Want to be with someone else
Guess I’ll just go
Be by myself.

Go easy man
Just act cool
Shut it man
I’m a loveable fool.

I’m a do what I do
I’m a be who I be
You be your man
Let me be me.

My time is short
I’m burning bright
I ain’t got time
For games in life.

I’m a be who I be
I’m a do what I do
I don’t run around
Telling you how to be you.

Be true to yourself
That’s all I say
And I’m true to myself
Every damn day.

I’m a do what I do
I’m a be who I be
You be your man
I’ll be me.

Girl don’t like it
Get on the move
How do I fight it?
What can I do?

I accept her for her
She can’t accept me for me
What can I do?
But accept it ain’t meant to be?

I ain’t going to sit there
Acting differently
When I look at the girl
The girl going to see.

So I’m a say how I feel
I’m a be real
Check yourself man
That’s no big deal.

I’m a enjoy my freedom
And just be one
Unless two are believing
And the loving is fun.

Love ain’t chains
Love ain’t whips
Love ain’t games
Or love ain’t shit.

I’m a do what I do
I’m a be who I be
You act cool
That ain’t me.

I’m a do what I do
I’m a be who I be
Y’all be you
I’m a be me.
