Here’s what my mama said Do it for the love, not for the money Not for the guns and not for the honeys Do it ‘cause it makes you feel alive Like the way we rockin’ on Saturday night Do it for the love of it, do it for the smell of it Do it for the joy and the taste and the hell of it Do it ‘cause you love it and it makes no sense Not yens or euros or dollars or cents When I was a little, little boy I knew I’d grow up To be somebody that my mama said would always show up To work, to school and all that’s cool But, following rules was never my strong suit, you know I bought a guitar, a microphone too Set out to do what I was born to do And mama said something as I was walking out the door [Chorus] Do it for the love, not for the money Not for the guns and not for the honeys Do it ‘cause it makes you feel alive Like the way we rockin’ on Saturday night Do it for the love of it, do it for the smell of it Do it for the joy and the taste and the hell of it Do it ‘cause you love it and it makes no sense Not yens or euros or dollars or cents Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Do it for the love of it Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Just for the love of it Life is never easy and you better know it Sometimes it’s like the date you’re waiting for that doesn’t show up You got to pay the rent, or else you owe it And like a credit card, you know you better not blow it And if you got beef with someone, let go it And if you got love for someone, you better show it Mama said this as I was walking out the door [Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Do it for the love of it Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Just for the love of it [Chorus] Na, na, na, na, na, na, na In the summertime Na, na, na, na, na, na, na That’s right, that’s right, so party people say Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Put your hands in the air like this, y’all Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Do it for the love of it Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Do it for the love of it Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Just for the love of it Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Do it for the love of it Just for the love of it
