Do It
Alicia Witt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
are you gonna be up all night again?
It's not up to you to figure out what's going on
inside someone else's head.
If you want something done, what are you waiting for?
if you don't have enough, gotta get something more,
if you wanna be loved, better start with yourself,
Is this the life you wanna have?
Are you really waiting for the phone to ring?
Just take a hint, get over it, you're all alone,
have you never learned a thing?
If you want something done, what are you waiting for?
if you don't have enough, gotta get something more,
if you wanna be loved, better start with yourself,
if you want something done then do it do it.
It's a short time you're here and a long time you're gone,
it's the life of your time and it keeps moving on,
if you have something left you been meaning to say.
if you want something done then do it do it.
No one's here to tell you how to live your life
and you'll never find yourself in someone else's eyes.
If you want something done, what are you waiting for?
if you don't have enough, gotta get something more,
if you wanna be loved, better start with yourself,
if you want something done then do it do it.
In Alicia Witt's song Do It, she sings about taking control of your life and doing things for yourself rather than waiting for others to do it for you. She starts off by saying that it doesn't matter why you're up all night, but if you want something done, you should do it yourself rather than trying to figure out someone else's thoughts. She encourages the listener to take charge of their own life and not wait for someone to call or make decisions for them. She emphasizes the importance of self-love and starting with yourself in order to achieve what you want.
The chorus repeats the message of the song, urging the listener to take action and do what they want to do. Witt reminds us that life is short and we need to make the most of our time. If there's something that we've been meaning to say or do, we should do it now rather than waiting for the right moment. She emphasizes that no one can tell us how to live our lives and we need to trust our own judgment.
This song is an anthem for self-empowerment and taking control of your own life. It's a reminder that we have the power to make our own choices and do what we want to do.
