Jimmy Nail - Right To Know lyrics

rate me

words and music by Jimmy Nail

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
