My arms are just as strong as his arms
But my arms had to let you go
You walked straight into his arms
Hadn't I the right? Hadn't I the right to know?

My heart is really such a big heart
With big love and room enough to grow
So my heart was summarily ripped apart
Hadn't I the right? Hadn't I the right to know?

I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you 'cause you're a wicked girl
No can't do 'cause I'm still in love with you

'Cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
Breaking someone's heart is just a small-beer crime
And even so, I think I had a right to know

Someday when all of this is far away
I'll say, "Hey, that's the way it goes"
Till then let me remember when
I held you very tight, I think I had a right to know

I want to tell everybody all around the world
To stay away from you 'cause you're a bad, bad girl
But you know me, too much decency

'Cause in a world gone crazy where nothing rhymes
Breaking someone's heart is just a small-beer crime
Even so, I think I had a right to know

I think I had a right to know
Think I had a right to know
I think I had a right to know
