which ine is correct?
hi
which one is correct between these two
i) "....what it do to you ...."
ii)".....what it does to you...."
On google search I got many results for both of them.
I personally think 2nd is correct, but sometimes it seems very odd to say so.

Hello, Elcid, "it" is the subject of "do", so it should be "does" (3rd person in the singular). Do you have any context for the sentence?

The Google hits are all based on a line from a song by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention (Burnt Weeny Sandwich, 1970):
'I went to the store when they opened up the door
I said: "Please please please gimme some more"
White Port & Lemon Juice,
White Port & Lemon Juice,
White Port & Lemon Juice,
Ooh what it do to you!

As such I dont have any context, but while conversating with my friend it came to me that using "what it does" seems to be little odd then I searched for "what it do" on google and I got pretty good result which shows we do use it.
