Lyrics

RIGHT TO BE BLUE, BY KIM DAVIDSON © 1998
IT'S ONLY MONDAY, AND NOTHIN'S GONE MY WAY SINCE A WEEK AGO...FEELIN' MIGHTY LOW
AIN'T LOOKIN' FOR SUNSHINE, THESE GRAY CLOUDS ARE ALL MINE AND THEY'RE RAININ' DOWN ON ME?
THEY DON'T CARE, WOULDN'T TAKE A DARE
WELL DON'T YOU TELL ME NOT TO WALLOW
'CAUSE THIS PAIN IS JUST TOO BITTER TO SWALLOW
I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE, I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE...

BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT YOU--IT'S ALL THAT I CAN DO SINCE YOU WENT AWAY--THAT'S SOME HELL TO PAY
CAN'T THINK HOW IT HAPPENED, I TELL YOU I WANT MORE AND YOU'RE RUNNIN' FOR THE DOOR?
IT'S A SHAME, AND IT'S MIGHTY LAME
WELL DON'T YOU TELL ME THAT IT'S MY FAULT
'CAUSE I NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D CALL IT ALL TO A HALT
I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE, I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE

BRIDGE: I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D BE THE TYPE TO RUN AWAY
I GUESS THAT PROVES I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WELL AT ALL
YOU'D THINK THAT YOU'D AT LEAST HAVE WANTED TO HAVE YOUR SAY
IF YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND I'D BE BACK JUST AS FAST AS I COULD CRAWL

I HOPE I CAN FORGET. IT SEEMS THAT I CAN'T YET YOU'RE IN EVERY THOUGHT--THAT'S AN AWFUL LOT
I GUESS IT'LL TAKE TIME--THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE DREAMIN' THAT I WOULD BE YOUR WIFE?
NEVER MIND, FATE CAN BE UNKIND
WELL DON'T YOU TELL ME THERE'S A BRIGHT SIDE

I'LL BELIEVE IT AFTER ALL OF MY TEARS HAVE DRIED
I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE, I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE.
I GOT A RIGHT TO BE BLUE?. I GOT A RIGHT (2-3-4) TO BE BLUE?
