[Verse 1]
Tell me, baby
What have I done?
You left me lonely
Far too long
Did I hurt you?
Did I ever desert you?
To make you treat me this way
I can't hold on any longer
It's getting harder every day

[Chorus]
I can't do right for doing wrong
I can't do right for doing wrong
Listen to me, baby
Hear my song
I can't do right
Baby, baby
I can't do right for doing wrong

[Verse 2]
So, help me, baby
To understand
Tell me what it takes
To be your man
All the heartache
I've been through
I can't hold on
Any longer
What's a man like me to do?

[Chorus]
I can't do right for doing wrong
I can't do right for doing wrong
Listen to me, baby
Hear my song
I can't do right
Baby, baby
I can't do right for doing wrong

[Post-Chorus]
Can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
I can't do right for doing wrong

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
I can't do right for doing wrong
I can't do right for doing wrong
Listen to me, baby
Hear my song
I can't do right
Baby, baby
I can't do right for doing wrong

[Post-Chorus]
Can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
I can't do right for doing wrong

[Outro]
Can't do right for doing wrong
Can't do right for doing wrong
Tell me, where did we go wrong?
Can't go right for doing wrong
Can't go right for doing
Can't go right for doing wrong
Can't do right for going wrong

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
