Adele

Songwriter: Adele

Who wants to be right as rain
It’s better when something is wrong
You get excitement in your bones
And everything you do’s a game

When night comes and your all on your own
You can say I chose to be alone
Who want to be right as rain
It’s harder when your on top

'Cause when hard work don’t pay off
And I’m tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love

Who wants to be riding high
When you’ll just crumble back on down
You give up everything you are
And even then you don’t get far

They make believe that everything
Is exactly what it seems
But at least when your at your worst
You know how to feel things

See when hard work don’t pay off
And I’m tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love

Go ahead and still my heart
To make me cry again
'Cause it will never hurt
As much as it did then

When we were both right
And no one had blame
But now I give up
On this endless game

'Cause who wants to be right as rain
It’s better when something is wrong
I get excitement in your bones
Even thought everything’s a strain

When night comes and I’m all on my own
You should know I chose to be alone
So who want to be right as rain
It’s harder when your on top

'Cause when hard work don’t pay off
And I’m tired there ain't no room in my bed
As far as I’m concerned
So wipe that dirty smile off
We won’t be making up
I’ve cried my heart out
And now I’ve had enough of love

In this digital and single-driven age, it’s very difficult for artists to sell albums. Yet, this British singer-songwriter has managed to sell over 50 million units on the back of her two latest albums alone.

Known for her strong, unique vocal talents who also possesses a very down-to-earth persona, Adele Adkins, born on May 5, 1988, made her studio debut in 2008 with 19, which netted the artist two Grammy awards and earned her significant acclaim in the UK.

In early 2011, Adele released her sophomore album, 21, written in the aftermath of a tumultuous relationship and nasty break-up. The album has sold 35 million copies worldwide and is the 21st album of all time to be certified Diamond in the U.S. (10 million copies sold), a milestone achieved in less than two years after its release. At the 2012 Grammys, Adele took home six trophies including Song, Record, and Album of the Year, making her only the second artist in Grammys history to win all four General Field categories. To this day, 21 is the most successful album on the Billboard 200 ever.
