Right to Know - 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
