Lyrics 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 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'll dish it out with ease

Don't encourage me, baby, or I'll go too far
When you said, "Beat me, mama, eight to the bar"

I know how to do it
I know how to do it
I know how to do it and I'll dish it out with ease

So 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
