Loggins, Kenny - I'm Gonna Do It Right Lyrics






Waitin' for the night to fade
Here on a foreign shore
And all I've done is run away
Like too many nights before

Its taken far too long
To make my world my own
I'm gonna try
'Cause this time round
I've made my mind up

[Chorus:]
If I think about leavin'
I'm gonna do it right, alright
'N if I'm thinkon' about holdin' on
I'm gonna do it right

Never been known to lie to me
Ain't gonna start in now
I've never been one for hide and seek
So what's all this endless doubt about

I know just what I'll do
I've got to make my move
'N I'll be fine
'Cause this time round
I've made my mind up

[Chorus]

Don't matter what you do
Just get to doin'
It'll come to you

No more maybe
No more baby
No more "save me"

And if I want to live my life
I gotta get it up to do it right
And if I want to feel alright
Gotta shed a little light on me tonight

Oh, hold on, hold on

[Chorus]

Loggins, Kenny I'm Gonna Do It Right Comments
  1. W.... A....

    This version was only available on the CD not the album.. I had them both. You can hear the Pointer Sisters on backgrounds

  2. S.... M....

    Petition for this to be a Lip Sync for Your Life ✌🏻😂

  3. V.... ....

    Kenny have a lot of great songs. There’s no many like him.

  4. W.... ....

    Found this song on the back of a danger zone record

  5. M.... ....

    This is pure 80's. Feels like it could be playing in a dance hall in a Scarface movie or something. Nose full of coke.

  6. T.... I....

    August 1985 to July 1986.

  7. M.... N....

    Kenny's most underrated gem! Deserves more views for this jam!

  8. T.... I....

    It hit the charts in 1986.

  9. G.... T....

    Kenny, Sheila E, The Pointer Sisters! Straight fucking jam!!!! This was made for all us real music lovers. Thanks Kenny, this entire album was the real, from the first track to the last!

    G.... T....

    Wow, KI had no idea Sheila E. and the Pointer Sisters were involved in this song. No wonder it's so amazing!

  10. �.... H....

    Underrated means it doesn't get enough attention that it should get

  11. S.... B....

    I think by underrated, they meant that it didn't get the air play it deserved. And it didn't. It was underrated. I think the disk jockeys of the day were still chasing a follow up to "Foot Loose" from KL. They weren't ready to let him move on to something this urban.

    S.... B....

    Yep, the unfortunate truth.

    S.... B....

    This kills Footloose in any back alley. I’m Gonna do it Right is the ultimate song for getting hyped but it’s also not too made purposefully for popularity. It’s perfect.

  12. t.... ....

    pure gold what ever happend to kenny loggins?

    t.... ....

    +toshtile - I think Kenny Loggins is still around. He did a concert at Saban Theater in Beverly Hills about couple of years ago. I'm sure he still performs at various Casinos around Palm Springs / St. Barbara areas as well as Vegas.

    t.... ....

    I saw Kenny with Michael opening on their joint touir in the fall of 1994 - those were the days!

  13. T.... ....

    Really good underrated song, Kenny Loggins has it all vocal and genre wise.

  14. g.... ....

    Sheila E. on drums-you killed it girl, amazing! Kenny colloborated with so many famous artist on this album: El Debarge, Pointer Sisters, Phillip Bailey, and more! In my opinion, his best album ever!

  15. y.... ....

    i love this song

  16. M.... 1....

    love the Pointer Sisters in this song!
