Restless Heart - Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong Or Right) Lyrics

The song is questioning why we can't be in love with more than one person at a time. "Why does it have to be one way or the other?" Subtle polyamory questioning in 1986... I'm impressed.

Why does she have to be black or white

Who is here after Mr. Peanut's unexpected death?

I swear the keytar needs to have a revival.

Great band, one of the best lead singers in all of country music ever and another great restless heart song. Too bad great real country music is gone. Now all we have is hip hoppin girl jeans wearing fake southern accent talkin, non-country music wannabe no talent dummies

Dont fool with married chicks. It's pretty simple

Nothing against Restless Heart, but I suggest these non band members take the covering. My top five solo male artists to cover are:
1.) Ewan McGregor
2.) Laurence Fox
3.) Hugh Laurie
4.) Rob Thomas
5.) Taron Egerton

What would Larry Stewart, the lead singer, say?

Dude has a keytar! Awesome!

One of those girls looks like Amy Grant.

Must be realistically nice!

80' music video formula: Models, big fans to swirl hair, and a New York City street.

I'm Going to there concert tonight at the Washington county fair ,in abingdon, Va. I can't wait. We need more good country music like this ,today's country is pure shit

Why does it have to be wrong or right? One way or the other?
ME: Go ask these chefs at Furrs!

The Old Blue Jean Jackets!

Very beautiful women

My wonderful brother Tom from Bismarck gave me the greatest hits CD years ago and l have moved from the truck to the RV non stop thank you very much for the happy life.
If you need a nice guitar call Tom
At Jacobson’s music store in Bismarck.

Great song what year is it from

It is a good song. I (believe) it was released in 1986

It was released on 4-87

@Tom Markulics Oh, my bad. I was wrong

1986 was great year for songs.

Interesting thought: The girls never interacted with the band, never sang anything, and never moved to the music. So did the girls even know they were filming a music video and/or which one?

Woody615 They figured they were doing a casting call for a porno

Still listening in 2019 and only 22, can't go wrong with the restless hearts!

The brunette at 0:39 (and else where) is sooo fine. Mmmmm.

Woody615 I agree 100%

There's not an ugly one in the bunch.

GREAT BAND,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Who is here after watching today's news?

One of the girls predicted Kristin Scott Thomas, Rowan Blanchard, Lili Sastry, etc. Pam Tillis probably did so. Or did that girl look like her? Rowan and Lili weren't born yet anyway.

Still the best and greatest country music band they're ever was.

Beautiful song! has anybody listened to( HomeFree) cover to this song?! Wow! there harmony is incredible!

Here because of Home Free

Dave Hilton same!! 😂

Growing up I LOVED this song never knew the name and it would rarely play on the radio finally found the CD

Cherished classic...still have the '45!

"Somebody, please. Please tell me!"
My line was to be used at the mall losing Sears and Rainbow.

Nice hearing a song from the 80s that is against racism. Pretty rare from that time period when racism wasn’t on the rise like it is now.

This is about relationships not racism....

Huh? Please explain that comment

@Timothy White its about adultery

The song has nothing to do with racism. It's got to do with cheating. And adultery.

Afraid to say that somebody listens to lyrics that are cut and dried about adultery and brings up race because of the black and white use of words to describe clear language. It would have been clever of them to elude to racism and lump it together now wouldn't it?

Do they wait like I do(in some way they do but differently just can’t figure it out and can’t find the ?also still I wonder what I might miss, where do I belong?12/15*18 4:11

Very very talented band any one of those guys can be the lead singer.

Great song by one of the greatest, most underappreciated bands in all of country music.

That is for sure. Great song, I love it, they are one of my favorite county groups. The 80's had the best Country music.

Finally getting some RH VEVO! Keep 'em coming guys. Thanks!

Saw them in concert last week. Fabulous !!!

The chorus reminds me so much about politics.. it doesn’t matter what side you on, you should be treated equally and be civil towards each other. We’ll all the same people

Its about adultery

You need to listen to the words before you comment. It's about adultery.
