I Know How to Do It

I Know How To Do It - Dinah Washington

Everybody needs practice in the art of love;

I've had twenty years' practice and Lord above

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

Good enough for anyone

If you love your man you'd better take good care

Or you'll wake up one mornin' and he won't be there

'Cause I know how to do it

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

Good enough for anyone

I may be old fashioned I may be dumb

I may be a square and I may be a bum

But I know how to do it

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

And I dish it out with ease

Don't encourage me baby or I'll go too far

When you say "Beat me momma eight to the bar ";

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

And I dish it out with ease

If you see a man who's mellow and fine

Tell him to come and see me any old time

I know how to do it

I know how to do it

I'll keep on doin' it as long as it's easy done
