You Done Me Wrong
Stevie Ann Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left me waiting up for you all night
By the telephone
How can I believe
That the cure for what you've done
Is coming after all I've seen

So don't say that you will when you can't
And we won't have to do this again

Why won't you take back your clothes
Take back your borrowed radio
Take back your lines and give me all I wanted
Time to go I will not miss you so

You can't go back
Everybody knows your name and they're waiting
For your next attack

How can I be nice
If I'm going back to you I'm following my bad advice

So don't say that you will when you can't
And we won't have to do this again

Why won't you take back your clothes
Take back your borrowed radio

Take back your lines and give me all I wanted
Time to go I will not miss you so

You left me waiting up for you all night
You made me wait all night for you by the phone

By the telephone
I was waiting for your call by the phone

How can I believe
I find it hard to believe

That the cure for what you've done
That there is a solution to the pain you have caused me

Is coming after all I've seen
Especially after everything you've put me through

Don't make promises you cannot keep

And we won't have to do this again
Then we won't have to go through this pain again

Why won't you take back your clothes
Why won't you come and take your clothes from my place

Take back your borrowed radio
Bring back the radio you borrowed from me

Take back your false promises and give me what I really wanted

Time to go I will not miss you so
It's time for you to leave and I won't miss you that much
