The band is led by British journeyman rocker Mick Jones (former member of Nero and the Gladiators, Spooky Tooth, and The Leslie West Band) who in early 1976 met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with Lou Gramm of Rochester, NY - As three other musicians who were all unknown at the time to form a sextet. The band's debut album Foreigner sold more than four million copies in the United States and stayed in the Top Twenty for a year with such hits as "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", and "Long Long Way From Home". Their sophomore effort, Double Vision, topped their previous selling five million records and spawned "Hot Blooded" and title track "Double Vision". The third album Head Games was also successful due to the thunderous "Dirty White Boy" and another title track hit "Head Games". 1980 brought personnel changes so that now the band was a quartet and Rick Wills played bass.

Do What You Like Lyrics

Foreigner

Dont tell me what you cant do
Never had a hold on you
And dont tell me where youd rather be
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Dont tell me what you cant do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what weve got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If its over me, its up to you
Dont make it harder than you need to
Youre old enough to hear the truth
Dont tell me what you cant do
Id do anything to make you stay
Id be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when its gone, what can you do?
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Dont let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
Ill try to be strong
But its wrong!
Im gonna have to let her go
If you walk out on me
Id be lonely as a man could be
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
Dont tell me what you cant do
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Never had a hold on you
Tell me you like, you know that you can
And dont tell me where youd rather be
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Girl, youre losing me
Youre losing me
Just do what you like
Do what you like, girl
Walk out of me, walk out of me
Girl you walk out of me
Say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
