You see I got a dilemma
I might've caused a problem or two
You see my wandering eye
It has it's own point of view
Temptation on every side
And I try to lay down my pride
But this feeling rises
Seems like I can't subside it
Well u see my baby
She's a one in a million pearl
I'm not tryna mess things up
Not for all the gold in the world
But it seems clear to me
How dangerous this lust can be
I wanna avoid the traps
Gotta be strong where I lack
Can you tell me
Can you tell me what's going on?
Can you help me
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I just wanna do
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
I wanna do right
But it felt so wrong
She's as good as good can be
But I know the problem is me
Too many lines, one too many wines
It's got me showin' my entire behind
That's why I gotta make this work
I'm too old to go this berserk
Over loose women, no matter how fine
How do I tip toe through these land mines?
Well you see my baby
She's a one in a million pearl
I'm not tryna mess things up
Not for all the gold in the world
But I understand human nature
That's why I try not to overtake her
Can anybody help me stop?
Before I lose this good thing I got oh
Can you tell me
Can you tell me what's going on?
Can you help me
Can you tell me where I've gone wrong, where I've gone wrong?
I just wanna do
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
I just wanna do
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
I wanna do right
But it felt so wrong
How do I know and what do I say?
To make this love grow and to turn lust away
The urge is so strong, but our love is much stronger
All I've ever wanted was to do right by her
I just wanna do
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
Mmm yeah
I just wanna do
Right by her
Right by her
Right by her
Mmm yeah, oh
