May Have to Do It (Don’t Have to Like It) Lyrics by Jesse Dayton

The Outsider

2018

[Verse 1]
Well Mama said, "Jess, you got to get out of bed, son
"Drag a comb across your achin' head
"If you come back, you better bring us some bread"
Now cut, and fade to red
[Chorus]
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it, do it, do it
Don't have to like it
[Verse 2]
Well said "Son, you've got to punch in by nine
"Now check everything comin' down the line
"Well if you need a break, you better give us a sign
"'Cause we're goin' 'til the sun don't shine"
[Chorus]
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it, do it, do it
Don't have to like it
[Verse 3]
Well Aunt Jemima said to Uncle Sam
"We gonna send you off to Afghanistan
"Help bring you back on the family plan
"And we hope you don't mind the sand"
[Chorus]
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it, do it, do it
Don't have to like it
[Verse 4]
Well the doc said, "Jess, you 'bout to run out of time, son
"Drinkin' all that Jim Beam and wine
"Stop havin' any fun and you'll be fine
"And we'll see you in the check-out line"
[Chorus]
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it, do it, do it
Don't have to like it
[Chorus]
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it (may have to do it)
But I don't have to like it (don't have to like it)
I may have to do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do...
