"Need To Be Right" lyrics

"Need To Be Right"

Well, I wonder what you're doing
And I'd like to know how you feel tonight
Hey, I've been there where I'm going
Every time you see things in black and white

And there's always something wrong
When you have the need to be right
You can hurt the one you love and prolong a fight
Yeah, there's always something wrong

When you have the need to be right
You can feel so all alone in the dead of the night
You're alone with your pride
And you need to be right

Now I'm only seven miles from you
But I'll cross that bridge to come and beg you please
Come on home now, I am so sorry
I don't want you to ever see me down on my knees

And there's always something wrong
When you have the need to be right
You can hurt the one you love and prolong a fight
Yeah, there's always something wrong

When you have the need to be right
You can feel so all alone in the dead of the night
You're alone with your pride
And you need to be right

I don't know what I'm so scared of
That you might blow my cover off
And turn my colours to white
But in the end I've got a feeling for you
Stronger than my fear of failure
I don't mind if you won't bend then I might

And there's always something wrong
When you have the need to be right
You can hurt the one you love and prolong a fight
Yeah, there's always something wrong

When you have the need to be right
You can feel so all alone in the dead of the night
You're alone with your pride
And you need to be right

You don't have to be right
And there's no need to be right
You don't have to be right
