Do Right Woman, Do Right Man

(Dan Penn, Chips Moman)



Take me to heart and I'll always love you

And nobody can make me do wrong

Take me for granted, leavin' love, I'm sure

Makes will power weak, and it makes my temptation stir.



A woman's only human, this you should understand

Oh, she's not a play thing, she's flesh and blood, just like a man.

So if you wanna do right, oh, hey, woman

You gotta be true right, oh, not my man.



They say this is a man's world, but you can't prove that by me

And if we're gonna stay together, now have a little respect for me

'Cause if you wanna do right, oh, dear woman

You gotta be my true, oh not my man.



You know, a woman's only human

Oh, can't you understand?

I said that she's not a plaything, she flesh and blood

Just like any good man.



I said, if you wanna do right

Oh, if you wanna do right woman

Oh! You gotta be my do right

Oh, not my man.



I said, you gotta be my do right, oh, not my man...
