Half Right Lyrics by Elliott Smith
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Well you shouldn't doctor yourself,
Well I pictured somebody else.
Someone that looks like,
What I look like.

Would you say that the one of your dreams
Got in you and ripped out the seams?
That's what I'd say,
That's what I'd say.

He was a sucker for your double dose,
Motherfucker turned white as a ghost.
Don't you say "Hi,"
Don't you say "Hi."

With a broken sink for a face,
And a head that just takes up space.
He's not half right,
He's not half right.

It's already half past, and it won't last.

I was sticking up for my friend,
When there's nothing much to defend.
It's a lost fight,
It's a lost fight.

'Cause when i talk to you on the phone
Well, it's just like being alone.
It's not half right,
It's not half right.
Well you shouldn't doctor yourself,    Well I pictured somebody else.    Someone that looks like,    What I look like.       Would you say that the one of your dreams    Got in you and ripped out the seams?    That's what I'd say,    That's what I'd say.       He was a sucker for your double dose,    Motherfucker turned white as a ghost.    Don't you say "Hi,"    Don't you say "Hi."       With a broken sink for a face,    And a head that just takes up space.    He's not half right,    He's not half right.       It's already half past, and it won't last.       I was sticking up for my friend,    When there's nothing much to defend.    It's a lost fight,    It's a lost fight.       'Cause when i talk to you on the phone    Well, it's just like being alone.    It's not half right,    It's not half right.
