"It Ain't What You Do" lyrics

"It Ain't What You Do"

Leaders and preachers even all you school teachers
Tell us, "What have you learned in your life?"
Mr. Political you know that it's a sin
They'll have the power to change the world you know

'Cause it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
And it ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it, now, oh yes

Race and religion when you make a decision
Do you stand up and say what you feel?
Don't be afraid it isn't easy to change
Just let it out, say what you really mean

'Cause it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
And it ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it, now, oh yes

Well, all the millions want a wonderful picture
If we all love to lie that way
Life is a miracle, don't let it slip away
Just let it out, say what you really mean

'Cause it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
And it ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it, now, oh yes

'Cause it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
And it ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it
And it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
And it ain't what you do
It's the way that you do it
And it ain't what you say
It's the way that you say it
And it ain't how you feel
It's the way that you feel it
