Well, this is a tongue-in-cheek song. The title says it all. WARNING: there is ONE swear word in this song!!! BE FOREWARNED!
lyrics
She’s Always Right
If there ever was a way to make a grown man cry, well
Stick him with a woman, now there’s your reason why, because
Men never broke my heart, and no, they never turned their back, but
A woman’s always right, and there ain’t no disputing that, Well they
Got you on a string, and once you share that ring, hell
It don’t matter much, even if she’s a diamond in the rough
You can share share your affection, but prepare for correction, ‘cos
She’s always right, morning noon and night
She’s always right and we failed to see the light, now
Perhaps this bulb is dim, because with girls one never wins
It’s a war of attrition, now please pass the ammunition, ‘cos
She’s always right, she’s always right.
Now beneath that tender smile lies a weasel in disguise
Who’s just waiting for her time to engage in a fight. Where
The loser’s always you, and subconsciously confused, now
She might let you think that her shit don’t stink, but
She’s always right, and we failed to see the light, now
Perhaps this bulb in dim because with girls one never wins
It’s a war of attrition, and the key in the ignition, but
She’s always right, she’s always right
Oh lord please help me to see their wise old ways, it’s
Payin it forward to men waiting for their day
It’s a troubled world we live in, and it’s getting tougher every day
Now you best come round to a woman’s want of thinking, ‘cos
That’s the only way...
Well I run myself ragged, to avoid incessant nagging
Even tho I’ve done my part, its always the horse before the cart
Tonight a pale moon’s rising, under the stars I’ll be lying, knowing
She’s always right, morning noon and night
She’s always right, and we failed to see the light, now
Perhaps this bulb is dim because with girls one never wins
It’s a war of attrition, not a willing coalition, knowing
She’s always right, and tho you. Try as you might
Keeping up the fight: morning noon and night
