Do Your Thing
‘N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To drop out of the sky(gotta go get it)
Hesitating, for somebody else
To run and pass you by(never get your time)
[Bridge]
There ain't no excuse for losing your feet
Drowning in your defeat, on this road of life
So reach up and touch the sky
[Chorus]
Are you doing your thing and doing it well
Are they looking at you hating singing oh
Are you doing your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing (oh), do your thing thing (oh)
(do your thing) Do Your Thing, oh (oh)
Keeping yourself from taking
On your perfect dream(you had to be open)
And being something
Somewhere that you read in a magazine(but you never let you shine)
[Bridge]
[Chorus: x2]
Are you doing your thing, well
Are you letting your dreams, come alive
Are you doing your thing, good
Believe can nobody do it better than you, believe can nobody do it better than you
Gotta walk, gotta break, gotta call, gotta take, everything that I bring, never do fall
Gotta hump, gotta bump, never sit on a stump, never quit on a swell of a lump
If you really want it bad
You can't ever drag your feet to the beat of the sound of defeat
Even if you got heat
Whoa
Never take your mad off to defeat, so
[Bridge]
[Chorus: x3]
Do your thing, do your thing, baby
Do your thing, All them looking at ya, All them looking at ya
(Believe can nobody do it better than you, believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing, oh
Yeah
Oh
Yeah
(Believe can nobody do it better than you, believe can nobody do it better than you)
Oh
Do your thing [Repeat: x4]
