作曲：Jimmy Jam/Terry Lewis/Terence Trent D'Arby

Fellas I want you to listen to me

'Cause I know ya'll will know what

I am talkin' bout here today

Now dig

Let me tell you about a girl I know

Every time I let my feelings show

I sing this same old song

OW Listen to me people

How come every time I try to put my best foot forward

All I wind up doing is putting it in my mouth

Somebody's got to tell me

I keep trying to do the right thing

But I keep doing it the wrong way

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

I send her flowers - she starts to sneeze

I didn't know that she had allergies

(oh yeah yeah yeah)

I told her I apologize and I'll make it up to you

Listen to me

'Cause I was tryin' to do the right thing

But I keep doing it the wrong way

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

A four course meal - she called it a snack

I even took her to my crib and

she called my place a shack

(oh yeah yeah yeah)

I tried to please the kind of girl

Whose tastes are particular

Man this girl's about to break my back

I keep trying to do the right thing

But I keep doing it the wrong way

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

I keep on trying to do the right thing

Yeah Yeah

But I keep

But I keep

But I keep doing it the wrong way

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

Looky here now

I'm trying to do the right thing

I keep trying to do the right thing

Don't you know that

I'm trying to do the right thing

Oooh

Looky here

Put your hands together

Listen to me people

The top was down on lover's lane

How was I supposed to know it was gonna rain

So I called her up to make amends

And she agreed to see me once again

But this time she brought her UGLY friend

Ha ha I guess that's how the story ends

YEAH

I keep trying to do the right thing

But I keep doing it the wrong way

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

I keep trying to do the right thing

But I keep doing it wrong yeah

Every time that I try to win her lovin'

I keep doing it the wrong way

Everything I wanna do came out wrong
