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
