Did you ever stop to listen
To what you're missin'
In the things you say? Yea
If you open up your eyes
Than you'll realize, what I say

You can do what you want to
You can do if you try
You can do what you want to
You can do if you try

You take that golden rule
That you learned in school
And just throw it away, yea
If you're well directed
Then you're protected, from the evil ways

You can do what you want to
You can do if you try
You can do what you want to
You can do if you try

You can do what you want to
You can do if you try
You can do what you want to
You can do if you try

(Ooo, if you try)
You can do what you want to
(Baby, you know you can)
You can do if you try
(Ooo, you can do)
You can do what you want to
(Ohh)
You can do if you try
(If you try)
You can do what you want to
