Right As Rain
Adele · 19 [2008]
It's better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones and everything you do's a game
When night comes and you're on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who want to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out and now I've had enough of love
Oh
No
Who wants to be riding high when you'll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are and even then you don't get far
They make believe that everything is exactly what it seems
But at least when you're at your worst you know how to feel things
See when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out and now I've had enough of love
Go ahead and still my heart to make me cry again
'Cause it will never hurt as much as it did then
When we were both right and no one had blame
But now I give up on this endless game
'Cause who wants to be right as rain
It's better when something is wrong
I get excitement in my bones even thought everything's a strain
When night comes and I'm on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
So who wants to be right as rain
It's harder when your on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off
And I'm tired there ain't no room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out and now I've had enough of love
No room in my bed as far as I'm concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won't be making up
I've cried my heart out and now I've had enough of love
Whoa
Oh
Yeah
Had enough
Whoa
Oh
Oh
Whoa
Oh
Oh
