Do It Right Lyrics

Well I thought I'd never find a love that was strong enough
Even if I did it would just be a stroke of luck
I was slippin' and slidin' barely gettin' by and
Never givin' everything
But when I saw you I found perfection and a new direction
This time I'm gonna
Do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Gonna do it right
Now I'm ready

Well I used to think that love was a dangerous place
That would lure you in and trap you with a pretty face
She'd be out to hurt me use me and desert me
And take away everything
You made me wanna love and respect you, protect you baby

This time I'm gonna
Do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Gonna do it right
Now I'm ready

Like a needle in a haystack love is hard to find
You're one in a million, and this time I'm gonna
Do it right
Now I'm ready
Gonna do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Do it right

But when I saw you
I found perfection
And a new direction
This time I'm gonna do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
I'm gonna do it right
Now I'm ready
Let's do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Do it right
Now I'm ready

Let's do it right

What's Happening Brother

Well I thought I'd never find a love that was strong enough
Even if I did it would just be a stroke of luck
I was slippin' and slidin' barely gettin' by and
Never givin' everything
But when I saw you I found perfection and a new direction
This time I'm gonna
Do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Gonna do it right
Now I'm ready

Well I used to think that love was a dangerous place
That would lure you in and trap you with a pretty face
She'd be out to hurt me use me and desert me
And take away everything
You made me wanna love and respect you, protect you baby

This time I'm gonna
Do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Gonna do it right
Now I'm ready

Like a needle in a haystack love is hard to find
You're one in a million, and this time I'm gonna
Do it right
Now I'm ready
Gonna do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Do it right

But when I saw you 
I found perfection
And a new direction
This time I'm gonna do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
I'm gonna do it right
Now I'm ready
Let's do it right
Takin' it slow and steady
Do it right
Now I'm ready

Let's do it right

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.
