Now I Know I’m Right

I was wrong about Susan
But weren't we all at seventeen?
My young layman's heart was sure
She was the bonniest girl he'd seen
But came the tall tales and a little self-harm
I nearly got arrested and I got into a fight
I was wrong about her
But now I know I'm right

And I was wrong when I told Lyn
I thought our love would never end
There was danger in her kiss
As I stole her from my friend
But we got bored once the danger burned out
Then she was stolen from me, too
Yes, I was wrong about her
But I'm right about you

And then of course, there's Laura
And where do I begin?
She was a good mate with a heart
In truth, I knew I'd never win
We both did things we knew we shouldn't do
And I think I lost a pretty good friend
I was wrong about her
But there my mistakes end

Cause I know I am right about you
And all the promises we've pledged are good and true
Don't ask me how I know, how I can be so sure
It's your smile, your sigh, your kiss that hint that our love will endure

And I was wrong about romance
I was cynical at best
I deemed fidelity absurd
I thought my soul could never rest
But you ignored me at the barbecue
And we were living with each other before long
I thought love was a lie
But you have proved me wrong
