Why don't you tell me what it is that you want,
I'll tell you where it is that you should look.
Don't think i don't know so much about you boy,
Just because i never came undone on your hook.

You can play love like it's some kind of game,
And everyone you ever knew will get a page in your book.
Yeah but how many times do i have to tell your sweat heart,
Just what it took.

Well, you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Well, if you'd only do right by me
Then i would do alright by you

Once you held a candle in the palm of your hand,
Helped you light up your way down to the coast.
It brought you shelter from the howling night.
Just when you needed it the most.

You can make out you only get as lost as you please,
And that you like the way it feels when you feel just like a ghost.
How many times you gonna play the scene out.
When you know the way it goes.

Yeah, you'd only do right by me
Well, if you'd only do right by me
Yeah, if you'd only do right by me
Then i would do alright by you

I saw you smile when you thought you had crossed the line...
Only to realize you'd never left the start.
Well i know you won't admit it baby,
But i can see it's breaking your heart.

Yeah, if you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Well, if you'd only do right by me
Well i'd do alright by you

Yeah if you'd only do right by me
If you'd only do right by me
Yeah if you'd only do right by me
Maybe i would do alright by you
