Ricky Van Shelton – Don’t We All Have The Right lyrics
I laughed it off when she left
I thought she’d come back again
Don’t we all have the right
To be wrong now and then
She won’t come home, she says her love
Will never be mine again
Don’t we all have the right
To be wrong now and then
Guess I wasn’t so smart after all
I forgot that with love, there are two ways to fall
I laughed it off when she left
I thought she’d come back again
Don’t we all have the right
To be wrong now and then
Guess I wasn’t so smart after all
I forgot that with love, there are two ways to fall
She won’t come home, says her love
Will never be mine again
Don’t we all have the right
To be wrong now and then
Don’t we all have the right
To be wrong now and then
