I Hate It When I'm Right/ with Dan May

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
