It's Your Thing
Empower Your Freedom: Unraveling the Meaning of 'It's Your Thing'
Lyrics
It's your thing, do what you wanna do
Empowerment and individuality are encouraged; you have the freedom to do as you please.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to
The singer won't dictate who or what the listener should direct their actions or affection towards.
It's your thing, do what you wanna do
Reiteration of the theme of personal freedom and choice.
I can't tell you, who to sock it to
Similar to line 2, emphasizing the autonomy of the listener.
If you want me to love you, maybe I will
Expressing a conditional willingness to love if desired by the listener.
Believe me woman, it ain't no big deal
Assuring that showing love is not a significant issue or challenge.
You need love now, just as bad as I do
Recognizing the listener's need for love, suggesting a mutual desire.
Make's me no difference now, who you give your thing to

I'm not trying to run your life, I know you wanna do what's right
Acknowledging the listener's autonomy and expressing a lack of intention to control their life.
Give your love now, to whoever you choose
