It takes a mighty big man, mighty big big mighty big mighty and strong to admit that he's wrong.
Well, it takes a mighty big fool, mighty big big mighty big fool to believe in his infallibilities.
Oh my! I picked the wrong side of the fight!
Hope I like the taste of humble pie--(that's what you'll be eating tonight!) That's right.
Chorus: You got it right, you got it. Got it all got it all, you're alright you're alright.
'Cuz a wise man knows when he's lost the fight, (baby, you done got it right!)
Well now, it takes a whole lot of cool, takes a lot takes a lot takes a lot to admit you ain't too legit.
Well, you know the bigger the pride, farther then farther then, then follows the fall, and that ain't cool at all, oh no,
Oh my! I picked the wrong side of the fight! Hope I like the taste of humble pie--(that's what you'll be eating tonight!)
[Chorus]
'Cuz a wise man knows when he's lost the fight, (baby, you done got it right!)
