    Lyrics »

The sun is shinin',
But don't you know it's raining 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 lookin' in
Before you do me wrong 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 leave me alone tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

Bridge:
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 wanna 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
Losing my mind
Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights
