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, baby, read me my rights
