You May Be Right

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.

Friday night I crashed your party

Saturday I said I'm sorry

Sunday came and trashed me out again

I was only having fun

Wasn't hurting anyone

And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I've been stranded in the combat zone

I've walked the Bedford Stuy alone

Even rode my motorcycle in the rain

And you told me not to drive

But I made it home alive

So you said it only proves that I'm insane

You may be right

I may be crazy

Hey, but I might just be the lunatic your looking for

Turn out the light

Don't try to save me

You may be wrong for all I know

You may be right

I remember how I found you there

Alone in your electric chair

I told you dirty jokes until you smiled

You were lonely for a man

I said: Take me as I am

'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you've tried to

Find someone to satisfy you

I might be as crazy as you say

But if I'm crazy then it's true

That it's all because of you

And you wouldn't want me any other way

You may be right

I may be crazy

Hey, but I might just be the lunatic you're looking for

Too late to fight

Too late to change me

You may be wrong for all I know

You may be right

You may be right

I may be crazy

But I might just be the lunatic you're looking for

Turn out the light

Don't try to save me

You may be wrong for all I know

You may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right
