Do What You Want, Be What You Are-Lyrics

Do what you want girl, but be what you are
there ain't no right er wrong way
Just a play from the heart
lt ain't a sign of weakness to give yourself away
Because the strong give up and move on,
While the weak, weak give up and stay

Chorus:
So do what you want to do
But be what you are ...

Do you believe in hot cars,
leather bars, or movie stars
Is that what's real
Payin' dues, Earth Shoes, Chicago blues
Is that how you feel?
You can change, but you can't conceal
What's deep inside you
lt's your game, lt's your deal

Chorus:
So do what you want to do
But be what you are ...

Written by Daryl Hall-John Oates
