LISA STANSFIELD - Ain't What You Do lyrics

rate me

(S. Oliver/J. Young)

When I was a kid, about half past three

My ma said daughter, come here to me

Says, things may come and things may go

But this is one thing you ought to know

(Chorus1)

Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it (x3)

That's what gets results

Ain't what you do, it's time that you do it (x3)

That's what gets results

You can try hard, don't mean a thing

Take it easy, easy, in the jive'n swing

Ain't what you do, it's the place that you do it

Aint what you do, it's the time that you do it

Ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it

That's what gets results

You've learned your ABCs, you've learned your DFGs

But this is something you don't learn in school

So get your hip boots on, and then you carry on

But remember not to try too hard or it don't mean a thing

(Chorus)

Ain't what you do, it's the time you do it (2x)

Ain't what you sing it's the way that you sing it

That's what gets results (2x)
