I Know How to Do It Lyrics
Everybody needs practice in the art of love;
I've had twenty years' 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'd better take good care,
Or you'll wake up one mornin' 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,
I 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!
Don't encourage me, baby, or I'll go too far
When you say, "Beat me, momma, eight to the bar!";
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!
If you see a man who's mellow and fine,
Tell him to come and see me any old time!
I know how to do it,
I know how to do it,
I'll keep on doin' it as long as it's easy done!
I've had twenty years' practice and, Lord above!
I know how to do it,
I know how to do it,
Good enough for anyone!
Or you'll wake up one mornin' and he won't be there!
I know how to do it,
I know how to do it,
Good enough for anyone!
I may be a square and I may be a bum!
I know how to do it,
I know how to do it,
And I dish it out with ease!
When you say, "Beat me, momma, eight to the bar!";
I know how to do it,
I know how to do it,
And I dish it out with ease!
Tell him to come and see me any old time!
I know how to do it,
I'll keep on doin' it as long as it's easy done!
