Do The Right Thing Lyrics
My bedroom's worse than the Catholic church
I let anyone in
And now my carnal sins
Have gotten to be so boring
My heart's wide open
I sure was hoping you could close it down
It seems I'm finding out
That loving you girl can be so frightening
And you strike me like gas and ligtning
Love me, don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
And help me do the right thing
And you steel my nerve and you strike me
Love don't like me
Don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
I've made time with girls
From every walk of life
And line of work
It's fine, I'm sure there must be something more
Because when we touch I swear
I think I think too much
I still remember every minute if you were in it
And you strike me, smite me
Ladies like me
Love me, don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
Say my name and I will give you anything
Kiss my face and I'll kiss yours anyway
Walk my way and watch me lose my mind
And do the right thing
Hold my hand and I will tell you everything
Say you'll wait and I will get you anything
Just don't go or watch me lose control
You steal my nerve and you've struck my life
Don't love me for just one night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
I let anyone in
And now my carnal sins
Have gotten to be so boring
I sure was hoping you could close it down
It seems I'm finding out
That loving you girl can be so frightening
Love me, don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
And help me do the right thing
Love don't like me
Don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
From every walk of life
And line of work
It's fine, I'm sure there must be something more
Because when we touch I swear
I think I think too much
I still remember every minute if you were in it
Ladies like me
Love me, don't just spend the night
You can't count on me to do the right thing
Kiss my face and I'll kiss yours anyway
Walk my way and watch me lose my mind
And do the right thing
Hold my hand and I will tell you everything
Say you'll wait and I will get you anything
Just don't go or watch me lose control
Don't love me for just one night
You can't count on me to do the right thing

I've looked on so many different lyrics sites and I STILL see the misprint in the line: "And now my my carnal sins Have got ginger beef so boring."
...it's obviously: "And now my carnal sins Have gotten to be so boring."
I'm puzzled as to how anyone could think that they were singing "ginger beef."
OKAY-- first of all. My city has an alternative station that plays this song all the time and I LOOOVE it. Second, I can't download it! I search for it all of the time on like Lime Wire and it NEVER works. (I just get these crappy virus things) and I'm so disappointed because this song is pretty well amazing. Thanks for putting up the lyrics!

Good song. (I'm also in the music video :P)
you live in calgary right? thats where i always here it too... if you go on youtube there's a video for it
AMAZING SONG
hell yeah to living in calgary, this band is one of the benefits
I heard this song at the start of the film "Freezer Burn: The Invasion of Laxdale". The film was pretty bad even to Tom Green's standards, but this song is amazing. I know I'm slow on the charts, give me a break they are Canada's biggest secret by the looks of things.
It's pretty obvious what the song is about. My interpretation is that he wants to settle down for this one girl.
Pretty clear that the song's about a promiscuous rock star that really just wants some girl to stop and care.
I always thought he was saying "you CAN count on me". But this certainly puts a different twist on the song XD
