The sun is shining
But don't you know it's raining in my heart?
I feel the walls closing in
From just the thought of you leaving
It's gone too far
And now I find myself on the outside, just looking in

Before you do me wrong tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

I'm just a prisoner
Caught up in this world I can't control
What am I doing here?
Just drowning 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

Do I have the right to love you?
Don't I have the right to want you?
Do I have to let you go?
Baby, baby, why you want to leave me?
Baby, don't you need me?
Do I have the right to know?

Do you still love me?
Or am I just wasting my time?
Losing my mind

Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

Do I have the right to know?
Do you still love me?
Or am I just wasting my time?
Losing my mind

Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights

Before you break my heart tonight
Baby, baby, read me my rights
