A
Take me to heart
E6 E
And I'll always love you

Can make me do wrong

Take me for granted

Makes willpower weak

And temptation strong

A woman's only human

She's not just a plaything

She's flesh and blood just like a man
Chorus:
A D/A B
If you want a do right all days woman
(do right do right do right do right woman)

You've gotta be a do right all nights man
(do right do right do right do right man)

F#m
Yeah, yeah, they say that it's a man's world

But you can't prove that by me

And as long as we're together, baby

Show some respect for me
