Why Don't You Do Right?

Natalie Maria Cole (born February 6, 1950) is an American singer, songwriter and performer. The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Cole rose to musical success in the mid-1970s as a R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)", "Inseparable" and "Our Love". After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole reemerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album, Everlasting, and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards. She has sold over 30 million records worldwide.</ref> more »

You had plenty money
1922
You let other women
Make a fool of you
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here
And get me
Some money too

You're sittin' down
And wonderin'
What it's all about
You ain't got no money
They will put you out
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here
And get me
Some money too

If you had prepared
Twenty years ago
You wouldn't be
A-wanderin'
From door to door
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here
And get me
Some money too

I fell
For your jivin'
And I took you in
Now all you got
To offer me's
A drink of gin
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Get out of here
And get me some money too
Why don't you do right
Like some other men do?
Like some other men do
