Текст Dinah Washington – I Know How To Do It

Everybody needs practice in the art of love
I’ve had twenty years’ practice and, Lord above

I know how to do it
I know how to do it

If you love your man you’d better take good care
Or you’ll wake up one mornin’ and he won’t be there

‘Cause I know how to do it
I know how to do it
I know how to do it
Good enough for anyone

I may be old fashioned, I may be dumb
I may be a square and I may be a bum

But I know how to do it
I know how to do it
I know how to do it
And I dish it out with ease

Don’t encourage me, baby, or I’ll go too far
When you say, «Beat me, momma, eight to the bar!»

I know how to do it
I know how to do it
I know how to do it
And I dish it out with ease

If you see a man who’s mellow and fine
Tell him to come and see me any old time

I know how to do it
I know how to do it
I’ll keep on doin’ it as long as it’s easy done
