Lyrics
Right To Know
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.
My arms are just as strong as his arms
But my arms had to let you go
You walked straight into his arms
Hadn't I the right? hadn't I the right to know?
My heart is really such a big heart
With big love and room enough to grow
So my heart was summarily ripped apart
But I hadn't I the right? hadn't I the right to know?
I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you 'cause you're a wicked girl
But no can do
I'm still in love with you
'cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
The breaking of a heart is just a small-beer crime
Even so, I think I had a right to know
One day when all of this is far away
I'll say "that's the way it goes"
Until then let me remember when
I held you oh, so tight, I think I had a right to know
I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you 'cause you're a bad bad girl
But you know me, too much decency
'cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
And breaking someone's heart is just a small-beer crime
Even so, I think I had a right to know
