so you met me twice and you know my name now you've labeled me and it's a god damn shame
see i'm not the kind of girl who feels the need to have to prove to you all of my good deeds
so you met me twice and you know my name now you've labeled me and it's a god damn shame
see i'm not the kind of girl who feels the need to have to prove to you all of my good deeds

you think that you've got me so figured out
you think that you know what i'm all about all about
you think that you've got me so figured out

you think that you know what i'm all about all about

Overall Meaning

The Moxy's song Dead Wrong is about how people tend to label others after only meeting them a few times, without really getting to know the person. The song's chorus repeats the refrain "you think that you've got me so figured out" and makes the point that people often jump to conclusions about others based on very little information. The songstress laments that she's being judged and labeled unfairly, and that people are seeing her "dead wrong".

The repeated lines of the song's chorus emphasize the idea that people's perceptions of others are often limited by their assumptions and biases, and that they don't really understand the complexity of another person's character. The singer is asserting her independence in refusing to validate the labels that have been put on her. She's confident in who she is and doesn't feel the need to prove anything to anyone. Ultimately, the song is a powerful statement about the importance of being open-minded and not judging people based on superficial or limited knowledge.
