Double Standard Lyrics by Sheena Easton

A Private Heaven

1984

[Verse 1]
Caught you with her, I let it slide
Egg on my face, swallowed my pride
But it's happened again
Oh, it's too many times
Seems the code you live by
Just isn't mine, just isn't mine
[Chorus]
You got double, double standards
You got a different point of view
You got double, double standards
The rules that you apply to me, you don't apply to you
Double, double standards
We got different states of mind
You got double, double standards
If you can do it, I can do it, there's no dividing line
[Verse 2]
Don't worry about me, I'll be alright
Go have your fun, stay out all night
But I won't be waiting
I've got someone new to meet
He's treats me fifty-fifty
It's a two-way street, you're a one-way street with your
[Chorus]
Double, double standards
You got a different point of view
You got double, double standards
The rules that you apply to me, you don't apply to you
Double, double standards
We got different states of mind
You got double, double standards
If you can do it, I can do it, there's no dividing line
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Double, double standards
You got a different point of view
You got double, double standards
The rules that you apply to me, you don't apply to you
Double, double standards
We got different states of mind
You got double, double standards
If you can do it, I can do it, there's no dividing line
Double, double standards
You got a different point of view
You got double, double standards
The rules that you apply to me, you don't apply to you
Double, double standards
We got different states of mind
You got double, double standards
If you can do it, I can do it, there's no dividing line
