Wrong Man for the Job
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hmmm..hmmm
I Thought that you were the best part of me,
Baby I guess that we just believe what,
We wanna believe
I Thought I knew you so well , I couldn't tell
That this was sinking so deep,
I'm breathing now,
Its time for me...
For me..
To let it go
It was cool when it started but now the flame has gone
You're The Wrong man for The Job,
My heart is breaking in pieces, but still I'm moving on,
You're the wrong man for the job,
I cant believe it took me so long to realize,
Finally know what it feels like (You're The wrong man For the Job)
I'm starting over but,I wont be afraid
I'm sorry to say,
You're the Wrong man for the job.
Oh..oh
Sometimes I wish I could take back everything,
It be easier to never have known you,
I would spare myself so much pain,
Still I can't stop thinking ยดbout,
What I'mma do without,
You on the lonely nights,
But now I know,what I gotta do,
I cant ever change you,
Letting it go tonight..
Hey
It was cool when it started but now the flame has gone
You're The Wrong man for The Job,
My heart is breaking in pieces, but still I'm moving on,
You're the wrong man for the job,
I cant believe it took me so long to realize,
Finally know what it feels like (You're The wrong man For the Job)
I'm starting over but,I wont be afraid
Im sorry to say,
You're the Wrong man for the job,
Im Looking for somebody to love me, the way I should be loved,
I need someone to do more for me, than you have ever done,
I love you but you're not the one...
It was cool when it started but now the flame has gone
You're The Wrong man for The Job,
My heart is breaking in pieces, but still I'm moving on,
You're the wrong man for the job,
I cant believe it took me so long to realize,
Finally know what it feels like (You're The wrong man For the Job)
I'm starting over but,I wont be afraid
I'm sorry to say,
You're the Wrong man for the job,
Heeyy, heyy
You're the Wrong man for The Job
You're the Wrong man for The Job
