The Right in Me Paul Heaton + Jacqui Abbott

[Verse 1]
The right in me keeps seeing you as a lover and a friend
The wrong in me keeps treating every fallout as the end
The right in me can see right through my weaknesses and fears
But the wrong in me turns fear to dread and weakness into tears

[Pre-Chorus]
The right in me can see that's just the way that true love goes
The wrong in me starts treating friends as friends, not bitter foes

[Chorus]
We drink wine from the ashtray
Eat lunch from the bin
That's just the business we're in
But when I look in your eyes
I can see what I'll win
It's a hell of a business we're in
We'll get wed in a graveyard
Honeymoon in sin
That's just the business we're in
But when I think of the future
I know what I'll win
It's a hell of a maze that we're in

[Verse 2]
The loser in me celebrates each argument and fight
But the winner in me knows it's wrong to only think you're right
The loser in me fills each room with smarm disguised as wit
But the winner knows the joker's job is knowing when to quit
