| I’m staying single
|
| Conscience at ease
|
| I’m free to mingle
|
| I do what I please!
|
| When I’m out late nights
|
| No one has my keys
|
| Yeah, I keep my dates nights
|
| Doin' what I please
|
| You know, I don’t have no starved waters, (?)
|
| Because they keep you on the shelf
|
| And I ain’t takin' orders
|
| So I just go along enjoyin' myself
|
| Should I go sailing
|
| 'Cross the seven seas?
|
| No one can stop me
|
| Doin' what I please!
|
| You know I have romances
|
| Just like a dog has fleas
|
| And I take in all the dances
|
| That’s because I do what I please
|
| I blow in at these parties
|
| Just like a reckless breeze;
|
| I outsmart all these other smarties
|
| Because I do just what I please
|
| You know, where there’s no action
|
| You’ll find that there’s blues about
|
| And I get my satisfaction
|
| Only when I’m steppin' out
|
| And whenever I get tipsy
|
| Out at one of these jamborees
|
| No one can stop me
|
| 'Cause I do what I please! |
