Do what you want girl, but be what you are
There ain't no right or wrong way
Just a play from the heart
It ain't a sign of weakness to give yourself away
Because the strong give up and move on
While the weak, the weak give up and stay

So do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
But be what you are
Be what you are

Do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
But be what you are
Be what you are

Do you believe in hot cars
Leather bars, or movie stars
Is that what's real?
Payin' dues, in earth shoes, Chicago blues
Is that how you feel?
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can change
But you can't conceal
What's deep inside you
It's your game, it's your deal
It's your game, it's your deal

Do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
But be what you are
Be what you are

Do what you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
What you wanna do
But be what you are
Be what you are

Do what you want to, girl
You can be what you wanna
You can do what you wanna
You can do, you can be
You could do, you could be
You can
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can change
Woo, you can be what you wanna, girl
Ooh, girl
You can, you can be, you can be, you can be

Oh, ooh, girl
You can be what you wanna, girl
Oh, girl
You can be what you want
You can do, you can do
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can change
Baby girl
Don't worry, girl
Don't worry, girl
You can do
You can do
You can do
Ooh, you can be what you wanna
Woo
You can do it
You can do it
You can do it
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can change
You can be what you wanna

    I have to admit I am probably amon the (many) people who first found Kaye Miccuci on Scrubs. I got a few of her songs then found G and O and I have to say I love this song. It is easy to look over their "slower" songs but this is so beautiful.
