We Were Both Wrong
Dave Edmunds · Repeat When Necessary [1979]
Well, my baby and I are apart, I'll tell you why
Now we both had views in a fight
Whoa, why couldn't we say to each other
The truth was we were both wrong
Well, day after day and night after night
We would have done one another
Whoa, why haven't we admitted to each other
We were both wrong
Coming out one better
Meant more than a letter to each other
Make a stand, don't back down
Just stand your ground and you'll win
I want you back, you can't beat 'em
After all it's been so long
I need your love so bad
Whoa, you're breaking my heart
Why don't we say we were both wrong?
Coming out one better
Meant more than one letter to each other
Just make a stand, don't back down
Just stand on your ground and you'll win
I want you back, you can't beat 'em
After all it's been so long
I need your love so bad
Whoa, you're breaking my heart
Why don't we say we were both wrong?
Well, you're breaking my heart
Why can't we say we were both wrong?
Now we both had views in a fight
Whoa, why couldn't we say to each other
The truth was we were both wrong
Well, day after day and night after night
We would have done one another
Whoa, why haven't we admitted to each other
We were both wrong
Coming out one better
Meant more than a letter to each other
Make a stand, don't back down
Just stand your ground and you'll win
I want you back, you can't beat 'em
After all it's been so long
I need your love so bad
Whoa, you're breaking my heart
Why don't we say we were both wrong?
Coming out one better
Meant more than one letter to each other
Just make a stand, don't back down
Just stand on your ground and you'll win
I want you back, you can't beat 'em
After all it's been so long
I need your love so bad
Whoa, you're breaking my heart
Why don't we say we were both wrong?
Well, you're breaking my heart
Why can't we say we were both wrong?
