Lucinda Williams - Righteously Lyrics
You don't have to prove
Your manhood to me constantly
I know you're the man can't you see
I love you Righteously
After the way you been kissin' me
After those pretty things you say
And the love we made today
When you run your hand
All up and run it back down my leg
Get excited and bite my neck
Get me all worked up like that
Think this through
Respect me I give you what's mine
You're entirely way too fine
Arms around my waist
You get a taste of how good this can be
Be the man you ought to tenderly
Stand up for me
Flirt with me don't keep hurtin' me
Don't cause me pain
Be my lover don't play no game
Just play me John Coltrane
[repeat]

Lucinda Williams Righteously Comments
Phew! I need to lie down in a dark room.
i would marry lucinda just because of this song
Just discovered this song through Spotify and I cant get enough. The music alone is awesome and the way she sings it is seductive.
Damn i love her so much!!!!!
😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
Heard this song for the first time yesterday and can't get enough of it. Love it......
Love her. Saw this concert here in Seattle. This whole album reminds of times that were really good
This song kicks ass!!!! <3
Damn. That guitar is as hot as her voice. Doug Pettibone you rock!
love it!!
real music
Sexiest song of all time.
#14yearsstrong still loving your music.
Play her that artist
What that about John coltrane? Meaning?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Coltrane
@Leonard Young thanks so much for info
I 1st heard this in concert at starlight in Kansas City 2003! Love it
I love Lucinda, I saw her there too.. perfect opener for Neil Young!!
Looov this song!
Who would have thought?! A mention of Coltrane by a country singer/writer! Nice guitar fill!
I agree, however, Lucinda kind of crosses all the lines...country, folk, blues, alt- country....! I've been enjoying her music since the late 80's, and her talent is nearly epic. My guess is that if asked, most folks would classify her as a country artist, and that's the basis for my original statement. Thanks for the genre lesson, and I'd say it's jazz, cause if you don't know what to call it, it must be jazz.
.....not country
Its not country,,,,shes been to school,,but hey they all sing what rings the register,,,,look at Ray Charles, ect ect,,they enlarge their base,,
@Randall Winkler blues, hillbilly, folk, bluegrass, gospel, country... it's all crossed boundaries throughout history. There's a great documentary which you may enjoy called Country Music, on PBS
Not country. She is her own thing!!!
What an excellent song, the guitar; lyrics; such a sexy song just like the sexy lady she is
Alot of her songs are about sex: Essence and Hot Blood
Hottest Female Singer out there! Woo-Hoo Lucinda
This song is a lap dance!! Every man needs to hear this song
monica sojka one of my favorites!🎸
I couldn't have said it better. The lyrics and Lucinda's sultry, inviting tone just lures you in and doesn't let you go. She's is country but by no means listened to by only country fans. Like John Prine she's one of our musical treasures.
I want to perform a lap dance to my man with this song.
Don't tell me his name is floppy bob after that lol
"Don't play no games, just play me John Coltrane." Brilliant!
Love love love this
......TRUE LOVE IS.....simple.....
I had a makeout session to this song back in 2009...one I'll never forget. It makes me hot every time I hear it!
Joni Mitchell sweet stuff!🌷
If you don't love Lucinda Williams then something is wrong with you! LOL what a great song! Such a unique voice she has!
its Friday night, a long week of stuff. Now beer utube and Lucinda. Deciding that I'm either gong to the Punjab this christmas and volunteer at the golden temple or stay home and help at a homeless charity. The holiday is taking shape and the music will be great
Last year i was in New Orleans and i donated money to a homeless charity that thought i was homeless!
Vive la difference!
Jim Gooding .....you blend...lol..♡♡♡♡♡Love this Lady♡♡♡♡♡
There is something extra special about this It can't be put into words, it's just.... special.- music-wise I can't stop listening to it on repeat. I'm stuck on the repeat feeling. The last time I felt like this was Nina Simone's "You Don't Know What It's Like.' I'm talking about the Bee-Gee's remake, even thought the straight up jazz pieno solo is better overall (i.e. transcendent and unforgettable)
Dixie Flatline I first heard this in '03 on a Boston Independent radio station on my way to work, and was instantly obsessed!! It just pulls you in, and you can't play it just once!
stacyann825 ..and dixie...HOOK,LINE,SINKER ♡♡
"To Love Somebody"
Awesome song!!
Hot sexy raunchy.🍉🍍🍓❤🍻
I love love this... damn
Dana Lockard ....yes Dana this song is pure relationship...♡♡♡IT...!!!
Anna Ash version is so much better
hell no u crazy
Lucinda owns this
Sorry but Anna Ash is nothing like Lucinda Williams!
pyziroki ....no way....perfection is not comparable...
Apples to oranges my friend, her version is good. But not close to add soulful or raw or brooding, or heart driven.
One of the sexiest songs ever recorded.
hoosierarcher .....feeelin it....lol..
I need a make out partner just so i can utilize this song hahaha. Essence is a good song too.
The first time I ever heard this song was making love to the most amazing women I ever met.. i really have a spot in my heart for this song. every time i hear it I'm back in Lisa's apartment can smell her incense and oils. Thanks Lucinda for helping create the best memory i posses. your amazing!
Damn she is good
it really is a phenomenal track.
Love her smoky-gravely voice ;)
This song really grabs you. Such rhyming and a great beat. Play me John Coltrane. What a line.
Peter Jonsson .....simplistic....
By God she has been there!!!!
SOOO glad I'm NOT only man that just JAMS this song! Hey, I can't dance in HEELS! ROFL
great jamming guitar work. she has a sultry voice. sexy.
This son gives me a special feeling.
Anna Ash covered this. And it's even sexier
Thank you for the recommendation. You are correct, sir, and Anna has a new fan. Best wishes!
Sorry but Anna Ash is nothing like Lucinda Williams I have to say Lucinda's version is way better but we all have our opinions.
Cory Whitlock .....defender Of Lucy...LOVE HER MUSIC...
This song is great. I kinda get worked up listening to it.
Love it....more everytime I listen to it...
Marcia Nease ..2days×25= 1more ×..
perfect!
the guitar I this is omygod.
wow
i haven't heard this in forever!
sexy song.... so good
Beautiful
I touched her thigh and death smiled
lucinda is the real deal
I love her husky, breathy voice, reminds me of Courtney Love.
SHould be the other way around. Lucinda has been around longer than Courtney (and she has a shit-ton more talent).
And minus Love's slightly atonal chorus bellowing/screeching.
Absolutely thought the same.
just heard this tune on no shoes radio. great tune with an awesome guitarist.
Bryan Mannoia the guitar gives me life.... dang !
shes coming to portland oregon, and her tickets are spendy....i really want to go..
This is an awesome album. Its been missing fir a couple years and just found it. Awesome song
Can listen to this song on repeat. It will never grow old
This song just rocks!!
This lady sure can rock.
Fuckin tremendous!
yeah buddy, yeah buddy....
. Linda
Great voice great song
Righteously happy birthday Lucinda!
One of the best ever , underrated . Fuck em , more tunes for us who adore her unique self.....
Saw her about 7 years ago this song blew me outta the water and still feel the same. Plus awesome name.
+Lucinda Blanton What, Blanton?
Wow & WOW
I love you "M" and always will.
I've her
Happy Birthday Lucinda!! <3
Love love her....Nice one Pam, getting this Monday started up right..
Great song. Thank you for posting it, but one correction in the lyrics you posted: The line is "Expect me to give you what's mine."
You're right! Corrected...thanks.
Best alt country artist around.
Lucinda williams oh yea
Remember this song when I was like 10.. Good song.
Awesome! I love Lucinda!!!
Don't know her lead player but .... he works her lyrics "righteously"
I think Doug Pettibone played the lead guitar on this song
+sam X DP is a huge talent yet he NEVER out shines the song What a gift/
Love this Song!!!
Yeah, everytime I hear this song I want to grab my man and........
Thank you Johnny Walker on Radio 2 fo bringing this voice tome.
@torbrexombre Same here.
torbrexombre ....gotta love our special D.Js....the ones who get you !!!
Oh ,Baby! You're Texas heat, damp and from the earth. Bite my neck and breathe on me.
A lone deserted Diner somewhere in England and I've discovered Lucinda. Better Late than Never .
Best thing about discovering new music coming form a veteran like Lucinda,is
there so much to uncover..
I have hours of her stuff tuck away and still stumble across things I had never heard before..
this world would be a whole lot more fun if everyone had a sexy southern drawl like LUCINDA. Whew!!! this is in the top five best Lucinda
