Jimmy Cliff You Can't Be Wrong and Get Right song lyrics

Hey hey listen now

Uuunh uunnh

You can't be wrong and get right

No matter how hard you may try

Anything that brings in darkness must come out in light

For you can't be wrong and get right

Now if you tell a little lie and think you'll get away

Cheat a little bit and you will have to pay

Cos when you think it's peace and safety, my friend

Sudden destruction's your end

Oh cos you can't be wrong and get right

No matter how hard you may try

Anything that brings in darkness must come out in light

For you can't be wrong and get right

Yes if you play with fire, man, you must get burned

If you didn't know then you'd better learn

Cos if you check it out then I'm sure you will find

You can't be wrong and get right

Hey hey now

Heeey hear me now, now, now, now, now

Instrumental

Uuunh uuunh uuunh

You can't be wrong and get right

No matter how hard you may try

Anything that brings in darkness must come out in light

For you can't be wrong and get right

Cos if you tell a little lie and think you'll get away

Cheat a little bit and you will have to pay

Cos when you think it's peace and safety, my friend

Sudden destruction's your end

Oh cos you can't be wrong and get right

No matter how hard you may try, try, try

Anything that brings in darkness must come out in light

For you can't be wrong and get right

Yes if you play with fire, man, you must get burned

If you didn't know then you'd better learn

And if you check it out then I'm sure you will find

You can't be wrong and get right

No, no, you can't be wrong and get right, right, right

No matter how hard you may try, try, try

Anything that brings in darkness must come out in light

For you can't be wrong and get right

No, no, no you can't be wrong and get right
