[Intro]
I like that though, haha
That's what's up

[Verse 1]
Some people like the summer when it's hot
Some people like the winter cold
Some people speak their minds when they wanna
And some other people ain't so bold
Whatever it is that you do, you should do
You should do it with your head held high
So when you're doing your thing, it's 'cause you wanna
And they never can ask you why

[Chorus]
I say do what you do
Say what you say (Say what you say)
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way
I say do what you do
Say what you say (Say what you say)
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh)

[Verse 2]
Some, they like it easy
When others, they like it rough
But have nobody's gotta like it but you
Girl, boy, boy, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy
Whatever, you should do what you do
How could they tell you that you coulda-shoulda-woulda?
When you ask them, can they walk in your shoes?
'Cause it's your life and you do what you wanna
And remember, baby, it's all about you

[Chorus]
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way
I say do what you do (Yeah)
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh)

[Bridge]
So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your peace
And say what you say (Say what you say)
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way (Do it your way)
So if it's on your mind, then you should speak your piece
And say what you say (Say what you say)
And if you want it done, then you should get it done
And do it your way (Do it your way)

[Chorus]
I say do what you do
Say what you say (I say, say)
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way (You got to do it your way)
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way (Do it your way, do it your way)

[Post-Chorus]
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh, yeah)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Oh oh oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Outro]
Do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way
I say do what you do
Say what you say
Mean what you mean when you say
'Cause it's your life, gotta make your own rules
And you got to do it your way, hey
