Can't Do Right For Doing Wrong

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
