I Do It 'Cause I Like It

(Album: How Many Times Can We Say Goodbye - 1983)

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 breaking 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 moving, though they wanna bring me down
I gotta run for the cover
And keep on smiling though they wanna tie me down
And give me death for the lover
And I keep on losing though I'm proving what I'm doing
I'm still grooving 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 finding that they're pushing those distorted visions
And I keep on living but I'm dying 'cause of their decisions
If I keep on looking, I can find an higher space
I'm still grooving 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'll just do it, yeah, yeah

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
