I say "Ray, why do girls treat you nice that way?"
He said it's not what I know, what I think or say
It's what I do
It's what I do
-5
It's deep beneath the skin
It's what I major in
It's what I do
Yes, I come to play and I bring big soul
I could rock long before they named it Rock and Roll
It's what I do
It's what I do
-5
I'm specially qualified
To keep them satis-fied
It's what I do
You turn the lamp down low
-5
You make them feel secure
You've got to show the girl
She's the one you adore
-5
If you want that sugar to pour
Well you bring some church but you leave no doubt
As to what kind of love you love to shout about
It's what I do
It's what I do
-5
If you can't dance by now
The Raelettes will show you how
It's what I do

If you want that sugar to pour
He says, Don don't despair just take some time
You find your bad self, you're gonna do just fine
It's what I do
It's what I do

It's not some game I play
It's in my D N A
It's what I do
