It’s Your Thing Songtext
von Aretha Franklin

Hey yeah, uh
Get down
We′re gonna throw down (throw down) yeah
Get down
Oh, we're gonna throw down (oh, we′re gonna throw down)

Oh-hoo-hoo, it's your thing, do what you wanna do
And I can't tell you who to sock it to
Said it′s your thing
(Thing, thing, thing) Do what you wanna do with it now
I can′t tell you who to sock it to

If you want me to love you, maybe I will
Believe me, baby, it ain't no big deal
Oh, you need love now, just as bad as I do
Makes me no difference, ah, who you give your stuff to


Oh, yeah, it′s your thing
(Thing, thing, thing) Do what you wanna do with it
'Cause I can′t tell you who to whip it to
It's your thing
(Thing, thing, thing) Do what you wanna do now
But I can′t tell you who to whip it to

I'm not trying to run your life
I know you wanna, you wanna do what's right
Oh, give your love to whomever you choose
How can you lose with the stuff you use?

Uh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo (thing, thing, thing)
Can not tell you, boy, boy, who to sock it to
It′s your thing
(Thing, thing, thing) Do what you wanna do with it
I can′t tell you who to sock it to

Oooh, it's your thing, do what you wanna do, boy
I said I can′t tell you who to give it to

Get down (get down)
Throw down (throw down)
Get down (get down)
Throw down (oh, throw down)

It's your thing, it′s your thing, it's your thing, really your thing
It′s your thing, it's your thing, it's your thing, really your thing
It′s your thing, it′s your thing, it's your thing, really your thing
It′s your thing, it's your thing, it′s your thing, really your thing


It is your goody (it is)
Do what you want me to (it is)
'Cause I can′t tell you (to, to, to)
Who to whip it to (who to sock it to)

Oh, yeah
And I know what you thinkin' baby (I know what's your thing)
′Cause I can′t tell you, whom to give it to
'Till you give up it to me? (thing, thing, thing)
You know, mmm-hmm? (I can tell you)
I know you you got women beating your door down (it is your thing)
Day and night (thing, thing, thing)
And you got express service going on over there (I can tell you)
But sweetie I′m in the fast lane too, you know (thing, thing, thing)
And it's your thing (He-e-e-e-ey yeah!)
Can′t get you
He-e-e-e-ey yeah! Yeah!
