Lyrics

Oh-oh-oh! You got to love whatever woman need
You got to get to love her wound
I don't want you to set me free
Oh no, baby don't
You got that kind of love
I can get up in the mornin' time
The sun is 'bout to shine in over yonder
C'mon give me what's mine
Come on and do
Do your duty
Come on and do
Do your duty
Ooh-ooh do what you suppose to do
Ooh-ooh do what you suppose to do
Do what you know you got to do
Do your duty
Hey! You can't deny baby, don't you try
C'mon and give it up
I go to have it, I can't do without it
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, show it up
I gat to have your love
I can't help myself
It's you baby, only you
I don't want nobody else
Come on and do
Do your duty
Come on and do
Do your duty
Ooh-ooh do what you are chose to do
Hey, yeah, do what you are chose to do
Do what you know you got to do
Do your duty
I never thought the day will come
Our love and charm will surely won
To give me everythin'
I get the love will ever be the same
Hey! Do it
Do your duty
Come on and do
Do your duty
Oh baby do
What you are suppose to do
Hey, do what you suppose to do
Do what you know you got to do
Do your duty
Do your duty
Do it, do it, do it, do it baby
Do your duty (do your duty)
Hey! You took my hand
Shock me in my mind
Hey, hey!
Do it, do it, do it, do it baby (do your duty)
When you hang her up
You got to show me what I love (do your duty)
Hey, hey! Do it, do it, do it, do it baby (do your duty)
