Lucinda Williams - Righteously (album version + lyrics)

from World Without Tears (2003) You don't have to prove your manhood to me constantly I know you're the man can't you see I love you righteously Why you wanna dis me after the way you been kissin' me after those pretty things you say and the love we made today When you run your hand all up and run it back down my leg get excited and bite my neck get me all worked up like that Think this through I laid it down for you every time Expect me to give you what's mine You're entirely way too fine Arms around my waist you get a taste of how good this can be Be the man you ought to tenderly Stand up for me Flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me Don't cause me pain Be my lover don't play no game Just play me John Coltrane You don't have to prove your manhood to me constantly I know you're the man can't you see I love you righteously Why you wanna dis me after the way you been kissin' me after those pretty things you say and the love we made today When you run your hand all up and run it back down my leg get excited and bite my neck get me all worked up like that Think this through I laid it down for you every time Expect me to give you what's mine You're entirely way too fine Arms around my waist you get a taste of how good this can be Be the man you ought to tenderly Stand up for me Flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me Don't cause me pain Be my lover don't play no game Just play me John Coltrane
