Story Behind The Song
I invited nine girlfriends to The Bottom Line to hear me perform. They all sat at the same table and eventually figured out they were all there to see me. All were put off but one-she set me straight and we've been together ever since.

Lyrics
Doing the right thing makes it better
Doing the right thing makes it good
Doing the right thing makes it better
Just doing the right thing makes it good
Oh yeah
I've been running around
In and out of all kinds of trouble
Moving fast hustling all the time
I've been playing the game just for the thrill
I've been all alone like a fool on a hill
I was just about to lose my mind
Then you came along
And showed me right from wrong
I fell in love
You made me see the light
You made me feel much stronger
Gonna love you longer
Doing the right thing
Doing the right thing
Doing the right thing
Made it right
Didn't we didn't we
Doing the right thing makes it better
Doing the right thing makes it good
Just doing the right thing makes it better
Doing the right thing makes it good
