Do Me Right
D. Love Lyrics

The song "Do Me Right" by D. Love is a heartfelt plea from a groom to his bride on their wedding day not to leave him, as he faces a dangerous situation. The opening lines "Do not forsake me, oh my darlin', On this, our weddin' day" set the tone for the song's theme of love and loyalty in the face of adversity. The groom is filled with uncertainty as he is unsure what fate awaits him and whether he will be brave enough to face a man who hates him. The lyrics "Or lie a coward, a craven coward, Or lie a coward in my grave" show the reader the internal conflict he is going through; whether to risk his life and be a hero or play it safe and be branded a coward.

As the song progresses, the groom is torn between his love for his bride and his sense of duty. He fears losing his fair-haired beauty but knows that he must face his enemy, as he has made a vow to do so. He is not afraid of death but fears what will happen if his bride leaves him. He reminds his bride that she made a promise to stand by his side even in the most challenging times of their lives. "Do not forsake me, oh my darlin', You made that promise as a bride, Do not forsake me, oh my darlin', Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin', Now that I need you by my side." In the end, he asks her to wait for him, as he faces his enemy.

Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to love, loyalty, and bravery in the face of adversity. The groom's plea to his bride to stand by him in the most challenging moments of his life is touching.
