Ricky Nelson - Do the Best You Can lyrics

rate me

(R. Cooder / R. Titleman)

Whenever you find a man

Who loves every woman he sees

There's always some kind of woman

That's puttin' him up a tree.

Now that kind of man he 'aint got

As much sense as a mule

You know everyone can love it

Just playin' you for a fool.

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand

True love can be such a sweet harmony

If you do the best that you can.

If you marry the wrong kinda woman

And you get where you can't agree

Just damn well forget yourself

And let that woman be.

A man ought to be a good husband

Quit tryin' to lead a fast life

Goin' about dressin' up other women

Won't put clothes on his own wife.

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand

True love can be such a sweet harmony

If you do the best that you can.

Well there's a lot's of good women wanna marry

They wanna live well at home

Afraid they might get hold of a rowdy man

Who can't let other women alone.

Well there's a lot's of good men who wanna marry

They wanna live well at home

But everytime they turn around there's a man there

Sayin' "Darlin' is he gone?"

Mmmm, oh no, it's not hard for you to understand

True love can be such a sweet harmony

If you do the best that you can.

True love can be such a sweet harmony

If you do the best that you can...
