Don’t You Ever Get Tired of Being Right?

Don't You Ever Get Tired of Being Right?


I asked you out to a party - you said you didn't want to go
Cause when I start drinkin', I stop thinkin' and I never learned how to say no

Don't you ever get tired of bein' right? Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
When I got home it was broad daylight
Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?

Back in the day when I used to play you told me love's never really free
Now kids in Caddys keep calling me Daddy and they all kinda look like me

Don't you ever get tired of bein' right? Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
Now all those mothers want to start a fight
Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?

It's not that I don't pay attention
I try to do the things you say
When it comes to fate I try to play it straight
but it ends in a knot anyway

When I thought that I ought to get married you said look before you leap
Some women will stay till you bring home your pay and go out once you fall asleep

Don't you ever get tired of bein' right? Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
Now I work all day and she plays all night
Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?


It's not that I don't pay attention
I try to take your advice
but before too long things start to go wrong
so you don't have to tell me twice


Went to an all you can eat buffet and I filled myself up on bread
You said if you'll just wait they'll bring out a plate that you wish you coulda had instead

Don't you ever get tired of bein' right? Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
Bye and bye they brought out pie,
and I couldn't even eat a bite


Don't you ever get tired of bein' right? Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
I couldn't eat a single bite
Don't you ever get tired of bein' right?
