read me my rights

the sun is shinin'

but you don't you know it's rainin' in my heart

i feel the walls closing in

at just the thought of you leavin'

it's gone too far

now i find myself on the outside just lookin' in

before you leave me alone tonight

baby

baby

read me my rights

i'm just a prisoner

caught up in a world i can't control

what am i doin' here

just drownin' in these tears

how can you walk away

and watch it all just crumble

after all these years

before you do me wrong tonight

baby

baby

read me my rights

don't i have the right to love you

don't i have the right to want you

do i have to let you go

tell me why you want to leave me

baby

don't you need me

don't i have the right to know

do you still love me

or am i just wastin' my time

just losin' my mind

before you break my heart tonight

baby

baby

read me my rights

don't i have the right to love you

don't i have the right to want you

do i have to let you go

tell me why you want to leave me

baby

don't you need me

don't i have the right to know

do you still love me

or am i just wastin' my time

just losin' my mind

before you break my heart tonight

baby

baby

read me my rights

before you do me wrong tonight

baby
