Do it!
Do it!
Do it now!
Do it!
Late on Tuesday evening, such a commotion in the street
Someone broke a window and someone's head got beat
A wave of breaking bottles crashed across the city street
And someone got arrested for a breach of the peace
If you wanna walk
Don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn
Learn how to do it
And if you wanna ride
Don't hide, do it
And if you wanna stay
Don't say, prove it
How much longer you gonna sit and talk to me?
You've got so many problems and a split personality
You want to see a doctor before our love is tested
How much longer? A man could get arrested
If you wanna walk
Don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn
Learn how to do it
And if you wanna ride
Don't hide, do it
And if you wanna stay
Don't say, prove it
You got your health, you got everything
That's what my doctor said
You may not have much cash, but you've got a roof over your head
Of course I said I loved you, not just 'cause you insisted
How much longer? A man could get arrested
If you wanna walk
Don't talk, do it
If you wanna earn
Learn how to do it
And if you wanna ride
Don't hide, do it
And if you wanna stay
Don't say, do it, do it!
Oh, babe, why don't we do it now?
Do it now
Oh, babe, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Oh, babe, why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
Why don't we do it now?
