    A nod to Ron’s former band, Power Of Attorney and their breakout single “Changing Man” which inspired the uptempo groove and sweet flute part.

about

“Do What I Wanna Do” was an existing song brought to Ron and Max, who infused their own heart and soul into the composition. Ron is at a stage in his life where he does what he wants to, says what he wants, and be who he’s gonna be. The message is unapologetic and free.

lyrics

Do What I Want To Do
Words and Music by Fred Berman and Dave Cope


You know that I don’t care
I’m gonna say what I wanna say
Cause anything that I wanna say
I can say it to you

You know that I don’t mind
I’m gonna do what I wanna do
Cause anything that I wanna do
I can do it with you

I am free to live my life
Any old type of way
Any old time of day

You know that I don’t mind
I’m gonna be what I wanna be
Cause anything that I wanna be
I can be it with you

Instrumental/Solo

I am free to live my life
Any old type of way
Any old time of day

You know that I don’t mind
I’m gonna be what I wanna be
Cause anything that I wanna be
I can be it with you

I’m gonna say what I wanna say
I’m gonna do what I wanna do
I’m gonna be what I wanna be
I can do it with you

I'm breathing," he says in a West Philly coffee shop with a smile and wide eyes. "I ain't gone yet. If I'm gonna breathe, I need to sing!" ... more
