Gerry Rafferty – Right Or Wrong lyrics

Right or Wrong (Stealers Wheel) version

I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night
But this time I sure won't worry about what I might have done
'Cause I was out to please myself,
Right or wrong.

You came in, looking like a long lost sheep,
Said I've been using you
You got what you wanted, and that's alright
But you were out to please yourself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm yeah you were out to please yourself
Right or wrong.

Don't hang your head down, there ain't no shame
In what we've both been through
Although I'd like to help you out
You know I've got to save myself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm you know I've got to save myself
Right or wrong.

When you go back, you know you're gonna have to look your best
You're gonna have to turn on the magic
Make believe it's real
You're gonna have to save yourself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm yeah we were out to please ourselves
Right or wrong
Yeah we were out to please ourselves.

(fade)
Yeah please yourself please yourself
Right or wrong yeah please yourself



Over My Head version

I woke up, remembered everything I said to you last night
But this time I sure won't worry about what I might have done
'Cause I was out to please myself,
Right or wrong.

You came in, looking like a long lost sheep,
Said I've been using you
You got what you wanted, and that's alright
But you were out to please yourself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm yeah you were out to please yourself
Right or wrong.

Don't hang your head down, there ain't no shame
In what we've both been through
Although I'd like to help you out
You know I've got to save myself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm you know I've got to save myself
Right or wrong.

Shake me when you're leavin' in the morning
Pack up your bags while I open my eyes
I know you're gonna wake me in the morning
Say bye bye and I'll be loving you.

When you go back, you know you're gonna have to look your best
You're gonna have to turn on the magic
Make believe it's real
You're gonna have to save yourself
Right or wrong
Ummmmm yeah we were out to please ourselves
Right or wrong
Yeah we were out to please ourselves.

(fade)
Yeah please yourself please yourself
Right or wrong yeah please yourself
