When I Get It Right

Joan Armatrading

You always say
When I just messed up
Did bad, done wrong, gone too far
Caused such pain, such shame

I'm illegal see one sided
No fair a sin there
Act queer, odd ball

I mishandle, you trample
So strong wear crown
Under foot put upon hold down

Hey, when I get it right will you tell me please?
Oh, when I get it right will you tell me please?
I wanna know, I gotta go
I wanna know, I gotta go

You always say no
You don't mean yes
No way, hold out
Turn around two refusals

Deaf ear turned here
Not want leave room
All fault here shake head
Drop dead

Hey, when I get it right will you tell me please?
Oh, when I get it right will you tell me please?
I wanna know, I gotta go
I wanna know, I gotta go

Hey, when I get it right will you tell me please?
Oh, when I get it right will you tell me please?
I wanna know, I gotta go
I wanna know, I gotta go
I wanna know, I gotta go
