Wrong About Mr. Right
© Copyright 2006 John M. Anderson
All alone, with three kids at home
In a flat that’s really for two
She waits and waits on her man to come along
Supper’s way overdue
She once thought she was the only one
And swears her mamma was right
One thing that she knows for sure
She was wrong ‘bout Mister Right
Mister Right is out most every night
She doesn't’ know where he’s been
Up to no good it’s understood
And wonders who’s holdin’ him
She wishes he’d just tell the truth
It’d be much kinder than lies
Another tear and a sleepless night
She was wrong ’bout Mister Right
Years ago when he held her hand
And she answered I do.
They talked of plans, of dreams and of family
At a table for two
She once thought she was the only one
He says he’s workin’ tonight
Then sneaks back home at a-quarter-to-dawn
She was wrong ‘bout Mister Right
Mister Right is out most every night
She doesn’t know where he’s been
Up to no good it’s understood
And wonders who’s holdin’ him
She wishes he’d just tell the truth
It’d be much kinder than lies
Another tear and a sleepless night
She was wrong ’bout Mister Right
In a flat that’s really for two
She waits and waits on her man to come along
Supper’s way overdue
She once thought she was the only one
And swears her mamma was right
One thing that she knows for sure
She was wrong ‘bout Mister Right
Mister Right is out most every night
She doesn't’ know where he’s been

And wonders who’s holdin’ him
She wishes he’d just tell the truth
It’d be much kinder than lies

It’d be much kinder than lies
Another tear and a sleepless night
She was wrong ’bout Mister Right
Behind the bar in another part of town
Accusations prove wrong
Saving every moonlightin’,
bartendin’ dime he makes
Money-down for a home
Her mamma called and explained it all
About his double life
Mistaken identity
She was wrong ‘bout Mister Right
Mister Right is out most every night
Now she knows where he’s been
It may be wrong to string her along
For his secret within
If he could do it all over again
It’d be a kinder surprise
Another tear and a brand new home
She was wrong ‘bout Mister Right

Another tear and a brand new home
