Do What You Want - Billy Preston

People, around the world say I’m bitter

But I can say I’m not a quitter (ha ha ha ha)

And you can’t

And people

No… they don’t apologize

That why we have to advertise in the paper

I can’t make you stop and listen that won’t save you.

I can’t believe

Everybody wants to party all night long until the birds are singing

So do what you want to do Be what you want to be Live how you want to live

If you want to be free

Then your going to be free

People

Don’t you know it’s not polite

To point and stare

No… it’s no the way to show you care

About the way you live, but I bet you don’t give a…

And people

You’ve got to give it up with gratitude

But you only did it cause I told you to

(ooh) Well too bad

So sad

Hope I didn’t make you mad

I can’t make you stop and listen that won’t save you.

I can’t believe

Everybody wants to party all night long until the birds are singing

(and the birds are singing)

So do what you want to do Be what you want to be Live how you want to live

If you want to be free

Then your going to be free

So say what you want to say

Hear what you want to hear

Live how you want to live

If you want to be free

Then you’re going to be free

I can’t make you stop and listen that won’t save you.

I can’t believe

Everybody wants to party all night long until… (birds are singing)

So do what you want to do Be what you want to be Live how you want to live

If you want to be free

Then your going to be free

So say what you want to say

Hear what you want to hear

Live how you want to live

If you want to be Then you’re going to be free

If you want to be Got to be Have to be Free
