Lyrics
I Hate It When I'm Right

Tick tock- the sound of the clock
Is taunting me again
Oh me- it's half past three
And I expected her around ten
She was a little too pretty
For dinner with her friends
I wish that I was wrong
But she's been gone so long

Chorus
I hate it when I'm right
And I've been right before
Suspicion, intuition
It don't matter anymore
A little voice inside me said
She won't be home tonight
And Lord- I hate it- when I'm right

Ding dong- denial's strong
Maybe she forgot her key
At the door, there's nothing more
Than a letter, left for me
It said "Dear John, I'm gone
You said that I'd move on"
She really tried her best
I think you know the rest

Repeat chourus

I ain't no prophet
Don't need no crystal ball
When a girl has eyes for other guys
The writing's on the wall

Instrumental

Same voice said-'Bad choice'
Should've listened way back when
But why am I surprised-
I stole her off some other guy

Repeat chorus
