"I know what conscience is, to begin with. It is not what you told me it was. It is the divinest thing in us. Don't sneer at it, Harry, any more - at least not before me. I want to be good. I can't bear the idea of my soul being hideous." Oscar Wilde (The Picture Of Dorian Gray)

What if I'm right?

Take me off on a journey and be there till the end
It won't be an uphill struggle, on you I can depend
You'll promise me a dream home with roses round the door
You'll cover me in diamonds, there's nothing I want more

You'll be strong and you'll turn me on
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true and be faithful too
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right??!

Cause if the rain starts falling, you'll protect me with your coat
You'll always tape the football and let me watch my shows
You'll always be this handsome and your weight will never gain
And when I give birth to your children, I will feel no pain

You'll bring me flowers and you'll bring me showers
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll say I'm thin and bring the washing in
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
What if I'm right??!

We'll always keep the magic, the tender love and care
And when you need to change the light bulb you won't hand me the chair
And when we're tired of the city and we find a country home
You'll sell your vinyl records and go get us a loan
You'll be my sympathetic lover and you won't steal the covers

But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You won't forsake me, your mother won't hate me
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be strong and you'll turn me on
But I got my doubts and what if I'm right?
You'll be true and be faithful too
But I've got my doubts and what if I'm right?

What if I'm right??!
