I been trying for a very long time
To get my business, my business straight
If you don't know how, to push me on the line
Baby you got it till the end of the time

[Chorus]
It ain't what you do, its how you do
It ain't what you been through
Its how you been through

Sticks and stones they may break my bones
While I'm a working , I'm a working on the road
Try to get yourself as high if you can
I can give my boogie if you want to dance

[Chorus]

I been trying for a very long time
To get my business, my business straight
If you don't know how, to push me on the line
Baby you got it till the end of the time

[Chorus]

Ain't what you doin', ain't what you doin'
Ain't what you doin', ain't what you doin'
Ain't what you do is how you do
It ain't what you been through
Its how you been through
