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, leaving love unsure
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong
A woman’s only human
You should understand
She’s not just a plaything
She’s flesh and blood just like her man
If you wanna do right all day’s woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man
Yeah, yeah, they say that it’s a man’s world
But you can’t prove that by me
And as long as we’re together, baby
Show some respect for me
If you wanna do right all day’s woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man
A woman’s only human
This you should understand
She’s not just a plaything
She’s flesh and blood just like her man
If you wanna do right all day’s woman
You've gotta be a do right all night man
You've gotta be a do right all night man
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
Makes willpower weak and temptation strong
You should understand
She’s not just a plaything
She’s flesh and blood just like her man
You've gotta be a do right all night man
But you can’t prove that by me
And as long as we’re together, baby
Show some respect for me
You've gotta be a do right all night man
This you should understand
She’s not just a plaything
She’s flesh and blood just like her man
You've gotta be a do right all night man
You've gotta be a do right all night man

writing this in 2013, it's obvious to me that we'll never go back to the days when songs were written like this. props to aretha for immortalizing a positive message with her divine voice.. this is a call to action for all men to treat their women as their equals. and not just because that's how men "bag" women, or hold on to women, but because that's what women deserve. she's not saying anything about buying your woman fancy clothes or expensive jewelry, just pay her in love, affection, and respect.
