You May Be Right

Billy Joel


Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said, “I’m sorry”
Sunday came and trashed me out again
I was only having fun
Wasn’t hurting anyone
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change

I’ve been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I’m insane

Chorus
   You may be right
   I may be crazy
   Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for
   Turn out the light
   Don’t try to save me
   You may be wrong for all I know
   But you may be right

Well, remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said, “Take me as I am”
‘Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while

Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I’m crazy then it’s true
That it’s all because of you
And you wouldn’t want me any other way

Chorus
   You may be right
   I may be crazy
   Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for
   It’s too late to fight
   It’s too late to change me
   You may be wrong for all I know
   But you may be right

Instrumental

Chorus
   You may be right
   I may be crazy
   Oh, but it just may be a lunatic you’re looking for
   Turn out the light
   Don’t try to save me
   You may be wrong for all I know
   But you may be right

You may be wrong but you may be right    8x, while fading
