Tried to Do the Right Thing - Van Morrison

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

For my baby tried to do the right thing

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing

I’m facing all this resistance

'Cause the wisdom of my decision was flawed

I was promised it would be just our business

But I found out so many people were involved

Can’t go forward, can’t go back

Weighing up the situation

Did you ever feel like you were caught up in

Some kind of suspended animation?

Now I’m certainly no hero

But all the goodwill I gave them

Now just means zero

Tried to do th right thing for my baby

But it all went wrong

And I just got conned

Can’t go forward, can’t go back

Just weighing up

Wighing up the situation

Feel like I’ve been caught up

In some kind of suspended animation

Now I’m certainly no hero

But all the goodwill I gave them

Turned into zero

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

But everything went wrong

And I just got conned

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

Don’t mean maybe, tried to do the right thing

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

But it all gone wrong

And I just got conned

Tried to do the right thing for my baby

But it all went wrong

Do the right thing for my baby

And I just got conned

I just got conned
