I Was Wrong
Bobby Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wishing on a lonely star
Wondering just where you are
And if you ever think about me, girl

If I could go back in time
I guarantee you'll still be mine
But the reality is that you've gone away
Now it's all so sad
I didn't even realize what I had
Now I gotta find a way
To make it through each day

I was wrong
I was wrong
Baby, I was wrong
So wrong

Love's such a mystery
There's no limit to what it can teach
If you listen to what's in your heart

These tears I cry don't tell the truth
Of just how much I'm needin' you
And how my life will never be the same

Now it's all so sad
I didn't even realize what I had
And now I gotta find a way
To make it through each day

I was wrong
I was wrong
Baby, I was wrong
So wrong

Baby, I was wrong
Sorry, I was wrong
Baby, I was (so) wrong
Sorry, I was wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
Baby, I was wrong (said, woo, woo, woo, baby)
Sorry, I was wrong (so wrong, so wrong)
Baby, I was wrong
Sorry, I was wrong (I'm so sorry; said, baby)
Baby, I was wrong (baby, I was wrong, baby)
Sorry, I was wrong (so wrong, so wrong, baby)
Baby, I was wrong
Sorry, I was wrong (Sorry, baby)
Wrong, wrong
All I need is one more chance; said, one more chance, baby
I'm sorry, so sorry; sorry, baby, give me one more chance
I love you, baby; I just done realized
Wrong, wrong, wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Said, baby, said I was wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tim and Bob, play it for me, play it for me
Can't nobody feel me but y'all, y'all
I was wrong, babe
I was wrong, baby
I'm sorry




Can you just please forgive me?
Just one more chance

Wishing on a lonely star
Hoping for a miracle to bring back the girl that he lost


Wondering just where you are
Thinking about her and her whereabouts


And if you ever think about me, girl
Curious if she still thinks about him


If I could go back in time
Wishing he could change the past


I guarantee you'll still be mine
Believing that he could have prevented her from leaving


But the reality is that you've gone away
Accepting that she's not coming back


Now it's all so sad
Feeling regretful about his previous actions


I didn't even realize what I had
Not recognizing the value of their relationship when they were together


Now I gotta find a way
Trying to cope with the situation


To make it through each day
Struggling to move on from the relationship


I was wrong
Admitting his mistakes and shortcomings


Baby, I was wrong
Asking for forgiveness


So wrong
Emphasizing the magnitude of his mistakes


Love's such a mystery
Love is complex and unpredictable


There's no limit to what it can teach
Love can be a great teacher and offer valuable life lessons


If you listen to what's in your heart
Following your heart and intuition can lead to the right decisions


These tears I cry don't tell the truth
Crying does not express the extent of his pain


Of just how much I'm needin' you
How much he misses and needs her


And how my life will never be the same
How her absence has changed his life


Sorry, I was wrong
Continuing to apologize and ask for another chance


All I need is one more chance
Desperate for a chance to make things right


I love you, baby
Expressing his feelings to her


Just one more chance
Begging for another opportunity to fix things
