Do Right By Me
Why don't you tell me what it is that you want
I'll tell you where it is that you should look
Don't think I don't know so much about you boy
Just because I never came undone on your hook
I know you play love like it's some kind of game
And everyone you ever knew will get a page in your book
Yeah but how many times is it gonna be this way
Before your sweet heart realizes just what it took
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
Once you held a candle in the palm of your hand
It helped you light up your way down to the coast
And it brought you shelter from the howling night
Just when you needed it the most
You can make out you only get as lost as you please
And that you like the way it feels when you feel just like a ghost
Yeah but how many times you gonna play the scene out
When the same way is the way that it always goes
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
I saw you smile when you thought you had crossed the line
Only to realize you'd never left the start
Well I know you won't admit it baby
But I can see it's breaking your heart
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
I'll tell you where it is that you should look
Don't think I don't know so much about you boy
Just because I never came undone on your hook
I know you play love like it's some kind of game
And everyone you ever knew will get a page in your book
Yeah but how many times is it gonna be this way
Before your sweet heart realizes just what it took
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
Once you held a candle in the palm of your hand
It helped you light up your way down to the coast
And it brought you shelter from the howling night
Just when you needed it the most
You can make out you only get as lost as you please
And that you like the way it feels when you feel just like a ghost
Yeah but how many times you gonna play the scene out
When the same way is the way that it always goes
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
I saw you smile when you thought you had crossed the line
Only to realize you'd never left the start
Well I know you won't admit it baby
But I can see it's breaking your heart
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
If you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Baby if you'd only do right by me
Maybe I would do alright by you
