Oh yeah, baby
One, two, three, oh yeah!
Oh, oh yeah
I'm a total experience
This is how I play
I'm not one of those people
With nothing much to say
I'm here to throw down
I'm here to tell you that
The boy is back in town
I want to tell you something that you don't know
Don't know about me
They are much too blind to ever know the truth
Why can't they see?
Everybody sing!
I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I don't care what people say
I don't care what people know
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
Satisfaction guaranteed
That's the way to go
Ain't no use in telling you
What they don't need to know
Some people are chilling
Some people are fly
That is what I'm telling you
Just don't believe the hype
Oh, I want to tell you something that you don't know
Don't know about me
Oh, they are much too blind to ever know the truth
Why can't they see
I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I don't care what people say
I don't care what people know
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
Everybody sing
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I can do what I want to do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
Whether they like it, oh yeah
Whether they like it...
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
I don't care what people say
I don't care what people do
I can do what I want to do
Whether they like it or not
The lyrics to Judge Jules/Boy George's song It's Like That are all about self-expression and not caring what other people think about you. The opening verse establishes that the singer is a force to be reckoned with - they are experienced, confident, and ready to take on the world. The chorus emphasizes that their actions and choices are their own, and that they won't be swayed by other people's opinions. The repeated line "I can do what I want to do, whether they like it or not" is a defiant statement of individuality.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer urging the listener not to believe everything they hear about them - they are much more complex and interesting than people give them credit for. The bridge encourages us not to get drawn into other people's drama or expectations, noting that some people are "chilling" while others are "fly." The closing verses repeat the chorus, driving home the message that the singer is going to live life on their own terms, regardless of what others may think.
Overall, the song is an anthem of self-acceptance and empowerment, encouraging each of us to be true to ourselves and not let others' judgments hold us back.
