I Know How to Do It Songtext

von Natalie Merchant

I KNOW HOW TO DO IT
Leonard Feather and Sammy Price
Everybody needs practice in the art of love
20 years of practice and Lord above
I know how to do it, I know how to do it
I know how to do it good enough for anyone

If you love your man you better take good care
You'll wake one morning 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
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

So don't encourage me daddy or I'll go too far
When you say, "please me mama, eight to the bar"
Cause I know how to do it, I know how to do it
I know how to do it good

So if you see a fella who's mellow and fine
Tell him to come and see me any old time
Cause I know how to do it, I know how to do it

I know how to do it good enough for anyone
