| Why don’t you tell me what it is that you want
|
| I’ll tell you where it is that you should look
|
| Don’t think I don’t know so much about you boy
|
| Just because I never came undone on your hook
|
| You can play love like it’s some kind of game
|
| And everyone you ever knew will get a page in your book
|
| Yeah but how many times is it gonna be this way
|
| Before your sweet heart realizes just what it took
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| Baby if you’d only do right by me
|
| Maybe I would do alright by you
|
| Once you held a candle in the palm of your hand
|
| It helped you light up your way down to the coast
|
| And it brought you shelter from the howling night
|
| Just when you needed it the most
|
| You can make out you only get as lost as you please
|
| And that you like the way it feels when you feel just like a ghost
|
| Yeah but how many times you gonna play the scene out
|
| When the same way is the way that it always goes
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| Baby if you’d only do right by me
|
| Maybe I would do alright by you
|
| I saw you smile when you thought you had crossed the line
|
| Only to realize you’d never left the start
|
| Well I know you won’t admit it baby
|
| But I can see it’s breaking your heart
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| Baby if you’d only do right by me
|
| Maybe I would do alright by you
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| If you’d only do right by me
|
| Baby if you’d only do right by me
|
| Maybe I would do alright by you |
