Lyrics
IT'S YOUR THING
The Isley Brothers
CHORUS
It's your thing, do what you wanna do.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to.(repeat)
VERSE 1
If you want me to love you, maybe I will.
Believe me woman, it ain't no big deal.
You need love now, just as bad as I do.
Make's me no difference now, who you give your thing to.
repeat CHORUS
(instrumental)
repeat CHORUS
I'm not trying to run your life,I know you wanna do what's right.
Give your love now, to whoever you choose.
How can you love, with the stuff you use now.
repeat CHORUS
repeat CHORUS and fade

Song Status
In 1969, the Isleys fled Motown and revived their own T-Neck Records, where they unleashed the free-will funk of "It's Your Thing." It became their biggest hit and earned a lawsuit from Berry Gordy, who claimed he owned the song.
