I WAS RIGHT,SHE WAS WRONG
Met her in L.A.,California
Told her she was just out of sight
She said:"Boy,how long have I known ya'?
I don't believe in love at first sight."
I said:"Darling,let me hold you.
My feelings getting out of control."
She said:"Wait,I just told you. I'm rockin'but I don't wanna roll."
Met another girl at the Whisky
Told her I would take her by force
Though I was aware it was risky
I could take it,no remorse
She said:"Baby,you're so much bigger
and rapin'isn't good for a start.
I've got my finger on the trigger
and my bullet's on the way to your heart"
Maybe it was just lack of timing
Maybe I'd been lonely too long
but even if my words were not rhyming
I was right,she was wrong
Took my Chevy up on the freeway
saw this lady holding a rope
I slowed down,said:"Hey,I'm a D.J.
How d'ya like a brainful of dope?"
She shook her head and said:"Darlin' beat it.
My car broke down.
Bop 'til you drop,
but leave the dope,I doubt that you need it.
Did I mention that I work as a cop?"
Maybe it was just lack of timing
Maybe I'd been lonely too long
but even if my words were not rhyming
I was right,she was wrong
