Do Me Right
Ruby the Rabbitfoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No no no
You got a way of keeping me high
Connected with the stars in the sky
You say go read, I'm like
Maps make traps for exactly what you want in your life
Cos if you don't they will pass you right by
Quicker than the plans when you drive
But baby I can tell you what I want
I want you to come over tonight
Be my secret lover undercover
Rolling thunder through the midnight sky
If you can make it and not break it I can take it til the sunrise
Cos oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh baby
You do me right
I ain't ever gonna let you go
No no no
You got a way of moving with the flow
We're steady like honey, real slow
And in your marshmallow bed you can bet we will shed more
Than our dirty clothes
We'll let go of all woes and sorrows
Slip through the cracks and not the dos
Well I'll wake with fresh heart
A new star on your mark said go
Our love will be a blazing all and
Brighten from the mountain to the coast
And on the start I'll kiss goodbye to all the fright that kept me up at night
Cos oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh baby
You do me right
You do me right
