Do What You Like
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't tell me what you can't do
Never had a hold on you
And don't tell me where you'd rather be
Just say the word, I'll set you free
You won't believe what you won't see
The only one you'll lose is me
Don't tell me what you can't do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what we've got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If it's over me, it's up to you
Don't make it harder than you need to
You're old enough to hear the truth
Don't tell me what you can't do
I'd do anything to make you stay
I'd be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when it's gone, what can you do?
You won't believe what you won't see
The only one you'll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Don't let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
I'll try to be strong
But it's wrong!
I'm gonna have to let her go
If you walk out on me
I'd be lonely as a man could be
You won't believe what you won't see
The only one you'll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if you're wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if you're wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
Don't tell me what you can't do
But girl, if you're wrong, please understand
Never had a hold on you
Tell me you like, you know that you can
And don't tell me where you'd rather be
But girl, if you're wrong, please understand
Just say the word, I'll set you free
You won't believe what you won't see
The only one you'll lose is me
Girl, you're losing me
You're losing me
Just do what you like
Do what you like, girl
Walk out of me, walk out of me
Girl you walk out of me
Say the word, I'll set you free
You won't believe what you won't see
The only one you'll lose is me
