Lyrics

I want so much to do so well
I’ve tried too hard till I can’t tell
Am I right?
I ask you now, am I right?

I’m asking an opinion
If you’ve got one will you give one
Am I right?

You say that I should change because
You want the girl I never was
Am I right?
A waste of time, am I right?
Come on out and say
I’m not the girl you want today
Am I right?

Am I right?
Am I right?
Am I right?
Am I right?

Tonight my insecurity has really got a hold of me
I’m begging you baby, tell me it’s alright
Am I right?
Am I right?

For the French & Saunders TV show, this song was taken apart and rebuilt! The French & Saunders version (1:47) is known as Ride with different lyrics to accompany the “motorbiking” sketch.
