The Right Thing Lyrics

One day I know
Gonna leave this all
Reach off to heaven

Lights flying 'cross my eyes
Oh it seems like
This could be mine

Come on
It's time I do the right thing
Oh baby, baby, gonna do the right thing

One day I know
Gonna leave this all alone
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven

One day I know
Gonna leave this all alone
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven
Oh no

No life to live
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven

One day I know
Gonna leave it all and go
Gonna leave this
Leave this all for heaven

Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
Oh it's time
Oh Lord, save me,
I wanna do the right thing
I wanna do the right thing
Oh-oh, it's time
I wanna do the right thing

Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm
Mmmmmmmm

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.
