The Losin’ Side of Right
© November 20, 2018
by Woodrow Thomas

Men and women were meant to get together,
But there ain’t nothin’ that’s gonna last forever,
And all is fair when we love and fight.
When we argue and you have your say,
Then you go and let me have my way,
How come I feel like I’m on the losin’ side of right.

I thought I knew that you knew that I knew,
But the thought I thought of you wasn’t true,
And my logic got tangled in a knot so tight.
It’s a smart man who knows who’s boss.
It’s a smarter man who can cut his loss,
And end up on the losin’ side of right.

Right or wrong. All day long.
It’s just your point of view.
But I’d rather be loved than right,
When it comes to you.

Let’s send our soldiers to foreign soil,
So we can get all that foreign oil.
We can bring to bear all our military might.
When the world opens up their eyes,
To what we’re doing, don’t be surprised,
When we wind up on the losin’ side of right.

Wrong or right. Day or night.
It’s just your point of view.
But I’d rather be righteous than right.
How about you?

Men and women were meant to get together,
But there ain’t nothin’ that’s gonna last forever.
So I’ll stay right here on the losin’ side of right,
The losin’ side of right, the losin’ side of right.
