Right to Do Wrong

(Jerry Foster)



You gave me every right to love you

Now you prefer that I leave you alone

You push me away from you and every time you do

You're giving me the right to do wrong.



You don't seem to notice that I need you

If you care at all it's never shown

Each time you wound my pride by pushing me aside

You're giving me the right to do wrong.



By causing me to turn to nameless faces

For a love that I can't find at home

By forcing me to look in other places

You're giving me the right to do wrong.



Perhaps the day will come when you want me

But you'll find the love I had for you is gone

Then while I'll live in shame you can share the blame

For giving me the right to do wrong.



For giving me the right to do wrong...
