"Can't Do Right For Doing Wrong" lyrics - WHITESNAKE

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

[Chorus:]
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?

[Chorus:]
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

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus:]
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

[Post-Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
Can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
Can't go right for doing wrong
Can't go right for doing
Can't go right for doing wrong
Can't do right for going wrong
