I've been tryin' for a very long time
To get my business, my business straight
If you don't know how, to push me on the line
Baby you got it 'till the end of the time

It ain't what you do, it's how you do
It ain't what you've been through
It's how you've been through

Sticks and stones I'm a workin' on the road
Try to get yourself as high if you can
I can give my boogie if you want to dance

It ain't what you do, it's how you do
It ain't what you've been through
It's why you've been through

(guitar solo)

Verse 1

It ain't what you do, it's how you do
It ain't what you've been through
It's why you've been through

Ain't what you're doin', ain't what you're doin'
Ain't what you're doin', ain't what you're doin'
Ain't what you do is how you do
It ain't what you've been through
It's how you've been through
