Lyrics
The Right Thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can't stand the way it is,
I can do nothing,
I can see the signs, baby
If this is not the right thing, the right thing,
Why do we stay, baby (x2)
I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up,
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down,
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up
I've got to make my way without you,
I've got to do something,
I've got to make my way baby
If this is not the right thing, the right thing,
Why do we stay, baby (x2)
I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up,
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down,
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up
Why're you still...
Why're you still...
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still...
Why're you still...
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still...
Why're you still in my house
Why're you still...
If this is not the right thing, this is not the right thing,
Why do we stay, baby (x2)
I never meant to let you down but I'm giving it up,
And you don't understand that I never, ever meant to let you down,
I'm giving it up, I'm giving it up
