Tell me, baby

What have I done

You left me lonely

Far too long

Did I hurt you

Did I ever desert you

To make you treat me this way

I can't hold on any longer

It's getting harder every day

I can't do right

For doing wrong

I can't do right

For doing wrong

Listen to me, Baby

Hear my song

I can't do right

Baby, Baby

I can't do right

For doing wrong

So, help me, Baby

To understand

Tell me what it takes

To be your man

All the heartache

I've been through

I can't hold on

Any longer

What's a man like me to do

I can't do right

For doing wrong

I can't do right

For doing wrong

Listen to me, Baby

Hear my song

I can't do right

Baby, Baby

I can't do right

For doing wrong

Can't do right, for doing wrong

Can't do right, for doing wrong

Tell me where did we go wrong

I can't do right for doing wrong

I can't do right

For doing wrong

I can't do right

For doing wrong

Listen to me, Baby

Hear my song

I can't do right

Baby, Baby

I can't do right

For doing wrong

Can't do right, for doing wrong

Can't do right, for doing wrong

Tell me where did we go wrong

I can't do right for doing wrong
