About

In this song, Ronald Isley is letting a girl know that she is free to spread her love around, as long as he gets some of it too. “It’s Your Thing” was a popular saying at the time and wonderfully ambiguous, so it could have a sexual connotation or simply be about personal independence.

It’s Your Thing Lyrics

[Chorus]
It's your thing, do what you wanna do
I can't tell you who to sock it to
It's your thing, do what you wanna do
I can't tell you who to sock it to

[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

[Chorus]
It's your thing (it's your thing), do what you wanna do
I can't tell you, who to sock it to
It's your thing (it's your thing), do what you wanna do now
I can't tell you who to sock it to

Alright
Aw, have mercy

[Chorus]
Ah, it's your thing, do what you wanna do
I can't tell you who to sock it to, hit me man
It's your thing (it's your thing), do what you wanna do
I can't tell you who to sock it to

[Verse 2]
I'm not trying to run your life
I know you wanna do what's right
Give your love girl, to whoever you choose
How can you lose, with the stuff you use now

[Chorus]
It's your thing (it's your thing), do what you wanna do
I can't tell you who to sock it to
It's your thing (it's your thing), do what you wanna do
Don't let me tell you who to sock it to

[Chorus]
Let me hear ya say, "It's my thing (it's my thing)
I do what I want to do
I can't tell you who to sock it to"
Hoo, it's my thing (it's your thing)
I do what I want to do

How did Ernie end up playing bass on this song?

Well, I was prepared in my mind to play drums. In rehearsal I had played drums, and then I switched off the drums and played the bass part. When we got to the session I was setting up the drum kit and the bass player came in, and I showed him what I had been playing. And when he started playing, he...
