DO RIGHT BY ME
(Steve Bogard / Rick Giles (m & l) 1988)
Reba McEntire 1988
Also sung by Michelle Wright 1988
Sometimes you treat me so cruel
I don't think I can take it.
Sometimes you hurt me so bad, I just wanna die.
But in a moment like this
With a tender touch and a lovers kiss
You put all of my pain aside and I say to you with my eyes.
Do right by me and make it last forever
Tonight I need to be here in your arms
Where the hurting ends and the love begins
Do right by me and I'll never do you wrong.
It feels so good to be so close like we were when we started
Oooh back when the troubles were few
And the loving was blind.
Funny how people so close know the things to
Say that can hurt the most
Baby why can't we just be kind and capture this moment in time.
Do right by me and make it last forever
Tonight I need to be here in your arms
Where the hurting ends and the love begins
Do right by me and I'll never do you wrong.
Do right by me
Baby baby baby do right by me
Do right by me
Baby baby baby do right by me
And I'll never do you wrong.
