Jimmy Nail - Right To Know

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
