about

Had Me Right is about meeting an amazing person who’s already in a relationship. And you end up convincing yourself how much better you’d be than the one they’re with.
So this song is that story, but framed as a conversation with the boyfriend. Like how can he not see how great she is and just be half assing it the whole time? And how he’s so busy seeing other guys as a threat he doesn’t realise the biggest threat is his own actions.

lyrics

You had me right from the first time
You saw me talking to your baby I
Must admit I hope I've been on her mind
Just the same way that she's been on mine

Just floating by
She's a kite so high
But I feel those
Talons every time you arrive
To take her from my side

From time to time
Tell me do you find
I cause some
Insecurities in your mind
Boy it's about time

Cause her smile
Could take my mind
For a walk in the summer sun
Despite the rain

And her eyes
When they look at mine
Oh I swear, yes I swear
That I could see a change

Is it for the best
Oh I'm hoping I could be for the best

You had me right from the first time
You saw me dancing with your darling I
Have to admit I hope she cast you aside
But it seems you're still a thorn in mine

Holding up the wall
Leaving your missed calls
Tell me when you find her
Does her smile seem to stall
Or am I a fool

From time to time
Tell me do you find
I cause some
Insecurities in your mind
Boy it's about time

Cause her smile
Could take my mind
For a walk in the summer sun
Despite the rain

And her eyes
When they look at mine
Oh I swear, yes I swear
That I could see a change

Is it for the best
Oh I'm hoping I could be for the best

And if you're so right
Then why does she seem to spend all of her nights
Running astray
You wish she'd stay but she alights

And I know your belief
But boy I promise that I'm not a thief
But if she wanted to leave
I might help her on her way

Just give her a reason to stay

You had me right from the first time
You saw me talking to your baby I
Have to admit I hope that she could be mine
But it seems you're all that she requires
