Left Side of Right

I'm tired of fighting
I've just given up
I'm not lying it's true
Because she's never wrong
And I'm not quite right
In anything I say or do

One night we were at a party
When the young girl I was talking to
Swallowed an olive from her martini
She was choking and turning blue

So I hurried to her rescue
Got behind her and pushed in her chest
Laid her down on the carpet
Then proceeded to give her my breath

By now I had everyone's attention
But they didn't know I was saving her life
I could tell by the look on their faces
Especially the one on my wife

I thought the girl would explain the situation
But she got up and ran out of the room
Which just added to the frustration
And apparently my doom

So now I'm tired of fighting
And I've given up
I've tried with all of my might
But she's never wrong
She saw what she saw
And I'm on the left side of right
