Verse:

	             A
	Take me to heart
	                 E6      E
	And I'll always love you
	       D
	And nobody
	                 A
	Can make me do wrong

	              A
	Take me for granted
	                E6    E
	Leaving love unshown
	                 D
	Makes willpower weak
	                 A      [N.C.; piano fill]
	And temptation strong

	B
	   A woman's only human

	   She's not just a plaything

	She's flesh and blood just like a man

Chorus:

	              A                  D/A                     B
	If you want a do right           all days               woman
	                   (do right do right do right do right        woman)
	                  E7                                        A
	You've gotta be a do right       all nights                man
	                    (do right do right do right do right        man)

Bridge:

              F#m
	Yeah, yeah, they say that it's a man's world
	C#m
	    But you can't prove that by me
	F#m
	    And as long as we're together, baby
	 E                       [N.C.]
	Show some respect for me

[repeat chorus]

	If you want a do right           all days               woman
	                   (do right do right do right do right)
	                  E7                                        A
	You've gotta be a do right       all nights                man
	                  E7                                        A
