          C
How many times do I need to
 A#
Need to fight you baby
 G#                       G
Just to get that it's no good
        C
And I know that I'm strong
        A#
But my mind's almost gone
G#                      G
And it's getting on my mood

              C
And all this buzzing you been doing
         A#
See you got me hanging up
 G#                     G
See you really got me worse
              C
But I got to move on, baby
       A#
Cause bitches got to eat
 G#                  G
Got to get back to work

 G#
I can't ask for your permission
 Cm
I can't wait for it
       Fm
Cause I was born free
      G
And I ain't taking shit

Chorus:
   C                    A#
I do what I love and I love what I do
  G#                     G
Stop me, stop me, I'm stopping you
         C                      A#
Get the move right, baby, I'll show what I mean
       G#                   G
Don't stop me, stop me, I like how it feels
   C                    A#
I do what I love and I love what I do
  G#                     G
Stop me, stop me, I'm stopping you
         C                      A#
Get the move right, baby, I'll show what I mean
       G#                   G
Don't stop me, stop me, I like how it feels

How many hits do you need for
Me to get it in you
Get it in you
And I'm strong and my heart
In my heart it won't change
For anyone or anything
And if you're crying about your lover
Because your lover is a dick
This will get you over it

But you got to move on, baby
Because bitches got to eat
Got to get back to work
I can't ask for your permission
I can't wait for it
Because I was born free
I ain't taking this

Chorus:
I do what I love and I love what I do
Stop me, stop me
I'm stopping you
Get the move right, baby, I'll show what I mean
Don't stop me, stop me, I like how it feels

I do what I love and I love what I do
I do what I love and I love what I do
Get move right baby, I'll show what I mean
Get move right baby, I'll show what I mean

Chorus:
I do what I love and I love what I do
Stop me, stop me
I'm stopping you
Get the move right, baby, I'll show what I mean
Don't stop me, stop me, I like how it feels
I do what I love and I love what I do
Stop me, stop me
I'm stopping you
Get the move right, baby, I'll show what I mean
Don't stop me, stop me, I like how it feels

I do what I love and I love what I do
