          v     v       v     v       v     v

                                        (take me to...)

 Verse:

                      A
         Take me to heart
                          E6      E
         And I'll always love you
                D
         And nobody
                          A
         Can make me do wrong

                       A
         Take me for granted
                         E6    E
         Leaving love unshown
                          D
         Makes willpower weak
                          A      [N.C.; piano fill]
         And temptation strong

 Pre-chorus:

         B
            A woman's only human
         [2: This] You should understand
         E
            She's not just a plaything
                                           E7     [2: G#/F#]
         She's flesh and blood just like a man

 Chorus:

                       A                  D/A                     B
         If you want a do right           all days               woman
                            (do right do right do right do right        woman)
                           E7                                        A
         You've gotta be a do right       all nights                man
                             (do right do right do right do right        man)

 Bridge:

               F#m
         Yeah, yeah, they say that it's a man's world
         C#m
             But you can't prove that by me
         F#m
             And as long as we're together, baby
          E                       [N.C.]
         Show some respect for me

 [repeat chorus]

         If you want a do right           all days               woman
                            (do right do right do right do right)
                           E7                                        A
         You've gotta be a do right       all nights                man

         You've gotta be a do right       all nights                man

           A
