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
