Do Right
Jimmie's Chicken Shack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always stay out late
I never take you out
Ask what you're all about
I always smell like smoke
Everything's just a joke
I never look at you
These are not all of the
Many simple things
You can find wrong with me
Once would you tell me please
What do I do What do I do right
I never talk to you
Be who you want me to
My music's way too loud
My friends are all so proud
Say I'm just wasted hope
I could not thread the rope
More than my pocket's broke
And you don't see a ring
These are not all of the
Infinitesimal things
You can find wrong with me
Once would you tell me please
What do I do What do I do right
Never wanted to play in this game
Yes, you're right
But losing the game doesn't mean
That we're losing the fight
What do I do what do I do, right
Won't make the bed up straight
I always stay out, great
But what do I do what do I do that is right

The chorus of the song asks the question, "What do I do right?" implying that the person is willing to change their ways but is unsure of what they are doing right to keep the relationship going. The last verse of the song talks about how the person never wanted to play in the game of love, but losing the game doesn't mean losing the fight. It seems like the person is still trying to navigate through their relationship and is seeking guidance from their partner.
