Do Right Girl Songtext
von Betty Wright

Girls, we can′t be expected to do the right things all the time
We're bound to make some bad decisions every once in awhile
Girls, some days it just don′t pay, to get up from your bed
And no matter how good you try to be
Bad things are bound to be said

Woah, I wanna be a do right girl
Oh, I gotta be a do right girl, yeah
I wanna be a do right girl, yeah
Do it right for the ones I love
And do it right for myself, yeah, mhm

Honey, I made it up in my mind just what I'm gonna be
And I'm not gonna give up on life
Because some people look done on me
Now people might try to misuse you
Because you′re meek and light like a feather
But don′t be misled by the way that I look
Because baby, I'm well put together


Oh, I wanna be a do right girl
Oh, I gotta be a do right girl, yeah
Yeah, I, I wanna be a do right girl
Do it right for the ones I love
And do it right for myself, oh, baby, mhm, yeah

I don′t mean to sound rough but girls, you got to speak up for yourself
Gotta work real hard for what you want in life
Don't depend on no one else
I′m not gonna be the kinda girl who runs in the streets
I want R-E-S-P-E-C-T, from my head down to my feet

Woah, I, I wanna be a do right girl
Oh, I, I gotta be a do right girl, yeah
I wanna be a do right girl, yeah
Do it right for the ones I love
And do it right for myself, oh, yeah

Everyday do right girl
Oh, I gotta be a do right girl, yeah
I said, night and day I wanna be a do right girl, yes, I do, ooh, baby
Oh, I want R-E-S-P-E-C-T, give it to me, baby, baby, baby

I wanna be a do right girl
Oh, you gotta help me be a do right girl, yeah
I wanna be and I'm gonna be, said I wanna be and I′m gonna be
A do right girl, yeah
