You don't have to be so squeaky clean

Or run around in any particular scene

You don't have to get all ripped and torn

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to be valedictorian

You might even be an outlaw on the run

Any fool on the road can get lost in the storm

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to stop spending just 'cause your money is gone

When she walks away you don't even have to say so long

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to pay your bills on time

You can disobey if you're so inclined

You don't even have to listen to this song

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to stop spending just 'cause your money is gone

When she walks away you don't even have to say so long

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong

You don't have to do right to know somebody's doin' you wrong
