The Right In Me - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

The right in me keeps seeing you as a lover and a friend

The wrong in me keeps treating every fallout as the end

The right in me can see right through my weaknesses and fears

But the wrong in me turns fear to dread and weakness into tears

The right in me can see that’s just the way that true love goes

The wrong in me starts treating friends as friends, not bitter foes

We drink wine from the ashtray

Eat lunch from the bin

That’s just the business we’re in

But when I look in your eyes

I can see what I’ll win

It’s a hell of a business we’re in

We’ll get wed in a graveyard

Honeymoon in sin

That’s just the business we’re in

But when I think of the future

I know what I’ll win

It’s a hell of a maze that we’re in

The loser in me celebrates each argument and fight

But the winner in me knows it’s wrong to only think you’re right

The loser in me fills each room with smarm disguised as wit

But the winner knows the joker’s job is knowing when to quit
