Lyrics
The Wrong Guy
by Jim Malloy
Verse
It's all right
It's hardly a trend
Sometimes a straight line
Will bend
And it's ok
She can't even cry
She said he said
"I'll try"
She said, next time
"It's goodbye"
Pre-Chorus
She knows it's just spin
When he says with a grin
"Let's not fight"
Chorus
She's doing hard time
With the wrong guy
In the big house
By the riverside
But I can't help her
Break the chains and fly
Verse
It's all good
But never in fun
The first time
A stop sign is run
But its okay
He won't even try
She said he said "we're fine"
And she said that he's dead inside
Pre-Chorus
And he knows its just spin
When she says with a grin
I'm alright
Bridge
And she needs a dream
And she needs a plan
She's got to find a way to break free
And I can be the one
Her inside man
Chorus
She's doing hard time
With the wrong guy
In the big house
By the riverside
But I can't help her
Break the chains and fly
Because I'm the guy
