Wrong
Archers of Loaf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't get it right.
Why don't you come down
From off my back.
And won't you get yourself a job somewhere away from me?
'Cause I don't want you to see your face anymore.
'Cause I don't want you on my case in the morning.
It's the least I could do.
You say I'll never be honest with you,
'Cause you don't deserve it anyway.
No I do not think that you could love me anyway,
Because you are inferior to me.
And no I do not think that you could love me anyway,
Because you are superior in all aspects to me.
No I do not think that you could love me anyway, because you are superior in all aspects to me.
[Repeat: x4]
