Point of Being Right - Shannon and the Clams

I knew that something wasn’t right

I gave you space

I was polite

I drove to New York in the rain

But there was itching in my brain

I laughed and smiled all week long

Although I knew something was wrong

I’m forced to turn the other cheek

But that’s no way to spend a week

My instincs kept me up at night

Ignore the warnings of my mind

Knew someone new was in your sight

Oh, whats the point of being right?

You went to a birthday party

Private night of karaoke

Didn’t get you home 'til almost three

Secretly wished you’d invited me

And now youre battling in my bed

But I can see into your head

You’re hidin' something big from me

Something I’ve chosen not to see

My instincs kept me up at night

Ignore the warnings of my mind

Knew someone new was in your sight

Oh, whats the point of being right?

I’ve held a jasmine

I’ve seen the dawn

I held my head high

I knew something was wrong

I should’ve listened

But that won’t happen again

My instincs kept me up at night

Ignore the warnings of my mind

Knew someone new was in your sight

Oh, whats the point of being right?

Now you are battling in my bed

But I can see into your head

You’re hiding something big from me

Something I’ve chosen not to see

The last time I said I love you

You went as cold when we were through

It haunted me all through the night

Oh, what’s the point of being right?
