"You Don't Have To Do Right" lyrics

"You Don't Have To Do Right"

You don't have to be so squeaky clean
Or run around in any particular scene
You don't have to get all ripped and torn
You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to be valedictorian
You might even be an outlaw on the run
Any fool on the road can get lost in the storm
You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong
You don't have to stop spending just 'cause your money is gone
When she walks away you don't even have to say so long
You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to pay your bills on time
You can disobey if you're so inclined
You don't even have to listen to this song
You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to keep every single promise you make
You'll probably never give half as much as you take
Don't have to push up petals just to get reborn
You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong
