Why Don't You Do It Right
Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole
You let other people make a fool of you
Why don't you do right,
Like some other men do?
Sittin' down, wonderin' what it's all about
If you ain't got no money they will put you out
Why don't you do right,
Like some other men do?
Get outta here,
Get me some money too.
If you have repaired years ago,
You wouldn't be wondering out from door to door
Why don't you do oh oh right,
Like some other men do?
Get outta here,
And get me some money too.
Oh, yeah
You're sittin' down, wondering what it's all about
If you ain't got no money they will put you out.
Why don't you do, do, do right,
Like some other men do?
Well, I fell for your jivin' and I took you in,
And now all you got to offer me is a drink of gin.
Why don't you do right baby,
Like those other men do?
Get outta here,
And get me some money too.
I said, get outta here,
And get me some money too.
Be-do, Be-do, Be-diddle-ee, do, do, do, do, do, do, diddle-dee
Duh-wee, beh-do, beh-do, bah-bo x4 beh-do wee.
