**Verse 1** I saw you walking in with papers That little “I’ve got this” kind of grin You had your reasons lined up nicely So I thought I’d let you have the win I listened close, I nodded slowly Said, “Yeah, I see your point somehow” You smiled like you had solved the whole thing And honestly, you looked so proud **Pre-Chorus** I could’ve pushed, I could’ve fought But love has taught me what it taught **Chorus** Baby, you were right Yeah, I’ll give you that tonight You can take the victory lap I don’t need to steal your spotlight You picked the road, you made the call Funny how we got here after all Right where I wanted us to be But hey — that’s just between you and me Yeah, you were right If that helps you sleep tonight **Verse 2** You said, “I think we should go left” I said, “Maybe… yeah, that sounds okay” Then somehow after one more coffee We took my favorite road anyway You chose the couch, or so you tell me You chose the color on the wall I only left a few suggestions In magazines around the hall **Pre-Chorus** No tricks, no games, no grand design Just little seeds and lots of time **Chorus** Baby, you were right Yeah, I’ll give you that tonight You can tell your friends you won it I’ll just smile and hold you tight You made the plan, you made the call Funny how I love the end of it all Right where I hoped that we would be But hey — that’s just between you and me Yeah, you were right I would never spoil your night **Bridge** It’s not about who wins the fight Or who can prove the other right Sometimes love is knowing when To let him count from nine to ten And if he thinks the grand idea Was something that he brought in here I kiss his cheek and say, “Of course” While gently steering our little horse **Break** You need your pride I need my way Somewhere in love We meet halfway Well… Halfway-ish What can I say? **Final Chorus** Baby, you were right You were brilliant, what a sight Every choice was yours completely I was nowhere near the fight You held the map, you led us through And somehow all my dreams came true So take the crown, I’ll pour the wine You keep the win — the ending’s mine Yeah, you were right And I love you more each night **Outro** So tell the story how you won How all my arguing came undone I’ll smile beside you, sweet and bright ’Cause loving you means knowing this: Sometimes the sweetest little kiss Is letting you believe… You were right.
