Lyrics
My momma done told me son - make the best of what you've got - be true to yourself and find out what is what - try to stay real no matter how you feel - and do what ya doin when yer doin it.
Chorus: You got to do what yer doin when yer doin it - there's thousands of ways of screwing it - like those Hopi indiand say - there is only night and day - and doin wot ya doin when yer doin it.
Well I've always tried to live by that advice - but I must admit I've been fooled once or twice - I've had to make my way - every single day - by doing wot I'm doing when I'm doin it.
Chorus
Now I can't help bein' A high toned son of a bitch - and it takes a lot of loving just to scratch my itch - too many women have found out too late - that once you go there - it's love for love's sake
Because I do what I'm doing when I'm doing it - I know all the ways of screwing it - like those hopi indians say - there is only night and day - and doing what ya doin' when yer doin it.
Chorus.
