The lovely Miss Wright, still putting up with all those Mr. Wrongs.

Betty Wright - Girls Can't Do What the Guys Do

Betty Wright has been around for a long time, kinda funky, kinda soul, all awesome. She was a great singer and had a couple controversial tunes in her heyday. “Tonight is the Night (You Make Me A Woman)”, besides being the kickass sample behind Candyman’s classic makeout tune “Knockin’ Boots”, is Betty’s story about losing her virginity. I highly recommend picking up Betty Wright “Live” if you come across it, she’s in top form.

Today’s song of yesteryear that would never be recorded today is “Girls Can’t Do What the Guys Do” in which Betty instructs her female listeners that in order to be a lady, you can’t be trollin’ the streets for hot tail like guys can do. It doesn't matter if your guy has been knockin boots with all your girlfriends, that's what guys do. Guys are guys and they’re gonna go out and find their outside woman, their backdoor beauty, but ladies, there’s really not much you can do about it. If you try and get revenge by gettin it on with the handyman down the block, you’re gonna find yourself in the gutter. And, you'll lose your self-respect. Girls simply can’t match a guy’s independence. Moral of the story: Boys will be boys and will probably cheat on you. Women: Deal with it.
