Can't Do Right for Doing Wrong Lyrics

If I seem kinda blue to you
It's just 'cause I'm not getting through to you
And I'll do anything you want me to
But I can't do right for doing wrong

We can get to where we want to be
With just a little faith and honesty
Instead of drifting where we don't belong
And I can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong


I say too little or I say too much
I see no recognition in your eyes
Try to fix it with a tender touch
But it seems too late
The chance has passed me by

I've told you what you mean to me
I've even told you what you've been to me
I wish we could be where we both belong
But I can't do right for doing wrong

If I seem kinda blue to you
It's just cause I'm not getting though to you
And I'll do anything you want me to
But I can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
