It's You Lyrics

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
And that's what gets results

You can try hard (aah-ahh-ah)
Don't mean a thing (aah-ahh-ah)
Take it easy (aah-ahh-ah)
Then your jive will swing (aah-ahh-ah)

It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results

Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)
Do do do do-do do-do do do dooo (ah ah ah ah ah)

I thought I was smart but I soon found out
I didn't know what life was all about
But then I learned I must confess
That life is like a game of chess

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it
And that's what gets results

You can try hard (aah-ahh-ah)
Don't mean a thing (aah-ahh-ah)
Take it easy (aah-ahh-ah)
Then your jive will swing (aah-ahh-ah)

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the time that you do it
And that's what gets results

It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it
T ain't what you do it's the way that you do it
And that's what gets results

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
