Looking for Mr. Do Right
Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's rainin' again, what time is it?
Man, I can't believe he done stood me up again
I don't deserve this, what kind of fool does he think I am?
Time after time and today, but what for?
Huh, you know what? I think it's time I've looked for Mr. Do Right

Worked all day long, I need a man whose back is real strong
Someone to fulfill my intellect and sexual desires
Now, please don't get me wrong, I don't even come on strong
It's been awhile since I've been satisfied
And these feelings I can no longer hide

I used to be in love, but it was oh, so long ago
My mind and body's craving, for a real man to give me some love
But now that you're here with me, there's a smile upon my face
'Cause loving you is so damn easy, and you sure 'nuff driving me crazy

Can't someone stop this rain from falling on my face?
I'm looking for Mr., Mr. Do Right someone who can do it all night
When will you learn playing with fire really burns
I'm searching for Mr., Mr. Do Right
Someone who can please me through the night

I sit here waiting, you just won't call, no
My mind is so confused but you don't seem to care at all
Now Lord knows I've tried to keep our love alive
So I sing this song for you 'cause it seems like the right thing to do

I used to be in love but it was oh, so long ago
My mind and body's craving, for a real man to give me some love
But now that you're here with me, there's a smile upon my face
'Cause loving you is so damn easy and you sure 'nuff driving me crazy

Can't someone stop this rain from falling on my face?
I'm looking for Mr., Mr. Do Right someone who can do it all night
When will you learn that playing with fire really burns
I'm lookin' for Mr., Mr. Do Right
Someone who can please me through the night

You used to love me
(I need a real man)
I need a strong man , I need a Mr. Do Right
You don't hold me like you used to
My mind and body's craving, oh yeah for Mr. Do Right
Lord knows I've tried, Mr. Do Right

Don't keep me waiting, anticipating, oh
I worked all week long, I need a Mr.




I need a man who's back is real strong
Fulfill me, take care of my sexual desires, baby

Great job Alton. Love that lyrically you let each of the voices shine. Sensual but not raunchy, vulnerable and emotional.

Yes I recall your name in my cd ๐Ÿ’ฟ when I read the credits! They are my favorite girl group, I follow them on Instagram. I will forever ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™ them!!

Justin Love

Jade was highly underrated. This was my jam!!!

cosmicroyal77

Groups like Jade, Swv, En Vogue, the 90's was the best decade for black female groups. I hope there's another resurgence black girl groups, we surely need it with the mess I've been hearing.ย 

JaimeAstin

Amen!

5 Years Ago Your Comment Is Still Sadly True

Ignacia J

@Cosmicroyal77, I was thinking the same thing, but I guess everyone would rather be solo than have a signature group appeal. I truly miss that era too!

Sandra Young

It will never be or should I say there are but they keep showing that hot mess

Sandra Young

I have all these ladies in my music collection ,there are no better
