if i seem kind of blue to you,
it's just coz i'm not getting through to you,
and i'll do anything you want me to,
but i can't do right for doing wrong,
we could get to where we want to be,
with just a little faith and honesty,
instead of drifting where we don't belong,
and i can't do right for doing wrong
i can't do right for doing wrong,
i say too little, or i say too much,
i see no recognition in your eyes,
i try to fix it with a tender touch,
but i see too late,
the chance has passed me by
i told you what you mean to me,
i've even told you what you've been to me,
i wish we could be where we both belong,
but i can't do right for doing wrong,
if i seem kind of blue to you,
it's just coz i'm not getting through to you,
and i'll do anything you want me to,
but i can't do right for doing wrong,
i can't do right for doing wrong,
i can't do right for doing wrong.
