"Read Me My Rights" lyrics
"Read Me My Rights"
(originally by Delbert McClinton)
The sun is shinin'
But you don't you know it's rainin' in my heart
I feel the walls closing in
At just the thought of you leavin'
It's gone too far
Now I find myself on the outside just lookin' in
Before you do me wrong tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights
I'm just a prisoner
Caught up in a world I can't control
What am I doin' here
Just drownin' in these tears
How can you walk away
And watch it all just crumble
After all these years
Before you leave me alone tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights
Do I have the right to love you?
Don't I have the right to want you?
Do I have to let you go?
Baby, tell me why you want to leave me?
Baby, don't you need me?
Do I have the right to know?
Do you still love me?
Or am I just wastin' my time?
Just losin' my mind
Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

Another man done gone
Another man done gone
