Do Right Man

Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong

A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

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

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man

A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man

If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man


Arethat Franklin "Do Right Man"

I was driving in my car today and just so happened to have just burned this CD from a friend of mine. When this song came on the radio, something told me to turn the music up and listen. I listened to the song from beginning to end and it got me to thinking about shit as usual. I haven't been a "Do Right Man" to VP.

Listening to it made me realize that I even though I want this man to be mine, I don't act like it. I find myself still entertaining the thought of dating and seeing other people. It made me realize that I never do things to make his day happier or easier. It made me realize that some of the things that I say could hurt his feelings or upset him. I haven't really done anything to make this situation grow.

It's funny that a song made me think about this. Why couldn't I think about it on my own? I even posted about my faults in the relationship with Dreads. You would think that I would have this shit understood by now, but I don't.

I know that I want it, but maybe I am not as ready for a committed relationship as much as I thought.
