Trying to Do the Right Thing [For Anne] Lyrics

Your eyes look out at me and I know what they see
The man who's devoted to you, tryin' to do the right thing
Your gaze reflects my heart and that's the place we start
To be devoted to, tryin' to do the right thing
The simple things, they are the magic
In a world of constant change this we know and it's the road of devotion
That's the one less chosen, in an impulsive world
We could shine a light with our love
It's in your heart and mind and I'll return in kind
To be devoted to, tryin' to do the right thing
The simple things, they are the magic
In a world of constant change this we know and it's the road of devotion
That's the one less chosen, in an impulsive world
We could shine a light with our love
Your eyes look out at me and I know what they see
The man who's devoted to you, tryin' to do the right thing
Tryin' to do the right thing

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.
