Right by You
Love's Pledge: Neil Diamond's Oath to Do Right All Night
Lyrics
Right by you, right by you
Expressing a commitment to be close and supportive.
Want to do right by you
Desire to act in a morally correct way for the person addressed.
All night long
Emphasizing the duration of the commitment, suggesting a lasting dedication.
Right by you, right by you
Reiteration of the commitment to be close and supportive.
Want to be right by you
Expressing the wish to be morally upright for the person addressed.
All night long
Reiterating the lasting dedication throughout the night.
Why don't you tell me
Asking the person to communicate openly, expressing a need for verbal affirmation.
I need to hear you say it
Stressing the importance of hearing the person explicitly state their thoughts or feelings.
Come on and tell me
Encouraging the person to share their thoughts or feelings verbally.
Just want to hear it told
Expressing a simple desire to hear the person articulate their thoughts.
Don't I do right by you
Pleading for acknowledgment of efforts made to act correctly for the person.
Baby, don't I do right by you
Seeking confirmation that actions have been morally right and beneficial to the person.
All night long
Reiterating the commitment throughout the night.
Come on and say it
Encouraging the person to verbally express affection or feelings.
I love to hear you whisper
Expressing a preference for hearing affectionate words softly spoken.
Just say you love me
Requesting a straightforward declaration of love.
I got to hear it told
Emphasizing the desire to hear explicit verbal affirmation.
Don't I do right by you
Pleading again for acknowledgment of efforts to do right for the person.
Baby, don't I do right by you
Seeking assurance that actions align with the person's expectations throughout the night.
All night long
Reiteration of the commitment to act in a morally right way for the person addressed.
