Do Right Woman, Do Right Man
Love's Balance: Embracing Virtue in 'Do Right Woman, Do Right Man'
Lyrics
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
Commit to me sincerely, and I'll always love you.
And nobody can make me do wrong
No one can influence or force me into wrongdoing.
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
If you take me for granted, leaving our love uncertain or unappreciated,
Makes will power weak and temptation strong
It weakens my determination, making it easier to yield to temptation.
A woman's only human
Women are fallible and have their flaws,
You should understand
It's important for you to comprehend this.
She's not just a plaything
A woman is not just an object for amusement or entertainment,
She's flesh and blood just like her man
She is a human being made of flesh and blood, just like her partner.
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
To have a woman who does right all day,
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man
You must yourself be a man who does right all night.
They say that it's a man's world
It's commonly said that the world favors men over women,
Well you can improve that by me
But you can change that perspective through your actions with me.
And as long as we're together baby
As long as we're in this relationship,
Show some respect for me
Show me the respect I deserve.
A woman's only human
Women are prone to human weaknesses,
You should understand
It's crucial for you to acknowledge this fact.
She's not just a plaything
A woman shouldn't be treated as a mere toy or object,
She's flesh and blood just like her man
She is a living being with emotions, similar to her partner.
If you want a do-right-all-day woman
To have a woman who behaves rightly throughout the day,
You've got to be a do-right-all-night man
You must yourself be a man who behaves rightly all through the night.
