Lyrics Dionne Warwick – I Do It ‘Cause I Like It
Text:
Said that we have all the time we need to make it right
Don’t hurry for nobody, if it ain’t the thing you like
Know your place and fit your space, young man, you will conform
I didn’t hear my soul express those rules when I was born
Free to roam ’cause that’s my home, you can’t stop sweet inclination
The kids want the system breakin’ down, not higher education
If it ain’t no natural law then you can keep your regulations
‘Cause if I like it, I do it
But I, I keep on movin’, though they wanna bring me down
I gotta run for the cover
And keep on smilin’ though they wanna tie me down
And give me death for the lover
And I keep on losin’ though I’m provin’ what I’m doin’
I’m still groovin’ and if I like it, I do it, yeah
I like it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, I like it
You’ve got to help those people break that legislation
We can overcome this suffocation
Execute your natural liberation
Happy to enjoy rejuvenation
All around, hear the sound, no one can stop us now
A thousand rules for plastic fools, now they can take a bow
Surely there’s been time to see, it doesn’t work by now
So if I like it, I just do it
Still I keep on findin’ that they’re pushin’ those distorted visions
And I keep on livin’ but I’m dyin’ ’cause of their decisions
If I keep on lookin’, I can find an higher space
I’m still groovin’ and if I like it, I do it, yeah
Oh yeah, if I like it, yes I know, if I like it
Yeah, don’t you know? If I like it
If I like it, if I like it, if I like it
I wanna do it, do it, do it, do it
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I gotta do it, yeah, come on
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
If you like, can do it, yeah
Just do it
I wanna do it, yeah, I think I’ll do it now
I think if I’ll like it I’m gonna do it
Stay, we gotta do it now
We gotta do it now, yeah
We gotta do it right now, now
Ah, there’s my DJ, yeah
You know I wanna do it
Come on, let it out
Hey, everybody said that if you like it, I think you better do it
I think I’m gonna do it, I think I’m gonna do it
I think I’m gonna do it, you know I wanna do it
Come on, Peter let’s do it, oh if you like it, yeah
Oh if you like it, yeah, oh if you like it, yeah
Said that we have all the time we need to make it right
