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 Forgiving me the right to do wrong forgiving me the right to do wrong
