Do Right Woman, Do Right Man Lyrics

Take me to heart and I´ll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted and I'll tag along
Makes will power weak and temptation strong

Well a woman´s only human
This you must understand
She´s not just a play thing
She expects love just like a man

So if you wanna do right
All day woman
You gotta be a do right
All night man

They say that´s it´s a man´s world
But you can´t prove that by me
For as long as we´re together baby
You better show some respect for me

If you wanna do right
All day woman
You gotta be a do right
All night man

You gotta be a do right
All night man
You gotta be a do right
All night man

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

not only is this song a great cover, its says a lot about human sexuality.

define masculinity as surpassing emotion to achieve goals, a sort of rational conscience, and define femininity is a passive narcissistic sexuality

the original Aretha Franklin version defines femininity and masculinity. The burrito's version says its masculine for a female to remain monogamous. it's also hilarious that when sung by a dude, the song becomes condescending and misogynistic.

for what it's worth: schizophrenics (the bearded lady disease) are rationally conscious with a passive narcissist sexuality. schizophrenics, having transcended ego, are on some next level of human and cosmic connectedness. and this is "Cosmic American Music"....
