What you do is all right with me

Whatever gets you through the night
[Verse 1]

Well,some guys just don't care they say

Some get rich and some get by

Some spend their lifetime having fun

Some say they're gonna wait 'til Jesus comes

Some say that girls are their downfall

Some boys don't like girls at all

Whatever gets you through the night

What you do is all right with me

Whatever gets you through the night
[Verse 3]

Well, some like cars and fancy clothes
A
Some live fast and some live slow
E
Some spend their life searching for truth
A
Some come to church in a three piece suit
[Verse 4]
D
Well, I've heard a good woman is all you need
A
I've heard some guys need two or three
E
Some want to save the world I'm told
A G F# A
Some just want to rock'n'roll
[Chorus]
D
Whatever gets you through the night
A
Whatever makes everything all right
E
I'm not the kind to judge you see
What you do is all right with me
A
Whatever gets you through the night
