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 thе 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
Wеighing up the situation
Feel like I’ve been caught up
In some kind of suspended animation
