I've been wrong from the beginning.

If you've been losing while I've been winning,

Then I've been wrong from the beginning.


I sit by the river. Got my feet in the water.

I feel about a dollar like I feel about a daughter.

If I've been laughing while you've been crying,

Then I've been wrong from the beginning.


I got a house on the border. I got shoes made of leather.

I got a robe made of velvet. I got a bed made of feather.

If you've been freezing while I've been sleeping,

Then I've been wrong. And for that, I'm weeping.


Have you been freezing while I've been sleeping?

Then I've been wrong. And for that, I'm changing.
