Here we are at this impasse again
the same old argument, the same old end
You're looking at me with those angry eyes
You say, "Why, do you always have to be right?"
well let me tell you (spoken)
Sittinâ there on the bus to school
Little Sallie tellin' us that her poor old
dog had died and gone to Heav'n in the sky
I turned around and told her that wasn't true
It's just a story that your parents tell you to
hide the truth and I made her cry
Because I've always had to be right
This is not just a random event
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
I can't just forgive and forget
Yeah I've always had to be right
I remember back when I was 10
my sister broke a vase I got pinned with her
crime, my mother thought that I lied
So she held a bar of soap to my mouth
told me she was going to wash the lies out
but out of spite I took a bite
Because I've always had to be right
This is not just a random event
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
I can't just forgive and forget
Yeah I've always had to be right
Just because I'm no longer a kid
doesn't mean I won't do those things that I
did back then, so don't be surprised
If I always have to be right
Because I have always had to be right
This is not just a random event
you can ask anybody I've met in my life
I can't just forgive and forget
Yeah I've always
N..
had to be right
