Point of Being Right Songtext
von Shannon and the Clams

I knew that something′ wasn't right
I gave you space, I was polite
I drove through 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 instincts kept me up at night
Ignored the warnings of my plight
Knew someone new was in your sight
Oh, what's 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 you′re babbling in my bed
But I can see into your head
You're hiding something big from me
Something I′ve chosen not to see

My instincts kept me up at night
Ignored the warnings of my plight
Knew someone new was in your sight
Oh, what's the point of being right?

I′ve held a jasmine
I've seen the dawn
I held my head high
Though knew something was wrong
I should've listened
But that won′t happen again

My instincts kept me up at night
Ignored the warnings of my plight
Knew someone new was in your sight
Oh, what′s the point of being right?

Now you are babbling in my bed
But I could 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?
