Get on the Right Track Baby
Love's Plea: Ray Charles' Call to Get on the Right Track
Lyrics
Get on the right track, baby
Encouraging the subject to make positive life choices and decisions.
Get on the right track, baby
Reiteration of the advice to stay on the right path and avoid mistakes.
Get on the right track, baby, yeah
Emphasizing the importance of staying on the correct path in life.
Come on home and treat me wrong again
Expressing disappointment after the subject returns home and repeats hurtful behavior.
Get on the right track, baby
Continuing the plea for the subject to choose a positive course of action.
Get on the right track, baby
Reiterating the importance of being on the right track in life.
Get on the right track, baby, yeah
Emphasizing the need for positive change to avoid repeating past mistakes.
Come on home and treat me wrong again
Expressing frustration as the subject continues to mistreat the speaker.
Yeah, I've been so blue and lonely
Acknowledging feelings of sadness and isolation.
I've tried both night and day
Describing efforts made to improve the emotional state both day and night.
But I'm beggin' you just one more time
Begging the subject for another chance despite previous heartbreak.
Come back if you don't stay
Expressing willingness to forgive if the subject decides to return.
Get on the right track, baby
Repetition of the advice to stay on the right path for a better life.
Get on the right track, baby
Stressing the importance of making positive choices and avoiding negativity.
Get on the right track, baby, yeah
Encouraging the subject to follow a positive course of action.
Come on home and treat me wrong again
Expressing frustration as the subject repeats hurtful behavior once again.
Yeah, I know you know I love you
Acknowledging the mutual understanding of love despite the heartbreak.
And yet you broke my heart in two
Highlighting the pain caused by the subject's actions, breaking the speaker's heart.
But it's because I love you
Accepting the hurt because of the deep love for the subject.
That I don't care what you do
Indicating a willingness to tolerate the subject's actions due to love.
Get on the right track, baby
Repeating the advice to get on the right track for a better future.
You better come on, now
Urging the subject to take positive action immediately.
Get on the right track, baby, yeah
Emphasizing the importance of choosing the right path for a better life.
Come on home and treat me wrong again, oh yeah
Expressing frustration as the subject continues to mistreat the speaker.
Well, I'm beggin' you one more time, baby
Begging the subject once again, this time on bended knees.
Down on bended knees
Desperation and a plea for the subject to return to the speaker's life.
Please, please come back home
Reiterating the request for the subject to come back home.
And give my poor heart ease
Asking for the return of the subject to bring comfort to the speaker's heart.
Get on the right track, baby
Repeating the advice to stay on the right track for a better future.
Get on the right track, baby
Stressing the importance of making positive choices and avoiding negativity.
Get on the right track, baby, yeah
Encouraging the subject to follow a positive course of action.
Come on home and treat me wrong one more again
Expressing frustration as the subject repeats hurtful behavior once again.
That's what I say now
Reiterating the plea for the subject to get on the right track.
