I Was Wrong - Benny Carter, Joe Williams

I’ve seen love

Kick a man while he stand

When you think that you’re alone

You cover it up

Just to stay on your feet

But the cut is just too deep

I was wrong

When I said «you were right»

'Cause it’s no fun

When everything is so nice

But I’ve been waiting too patiently

For life to turn its back on me and

Not just go my way

All down the line

It’s hard hard to believe

That we ever lived apart

Sometimes a girl can make you forget

We’ve been alone since the start

There’s no fate

Like a healthy break

Now I’ve got

No heart left to ache

But I’ve been waiting too patiently

For life to turn its back on me and

Not just go my way

'Cause everything was so perfect back then

I don’t understand why

We can’t let it stay that way

But I’ve been waiting too patiently

For life to turn its back on me and

Not just go my way
