Wrong About Me - Brett Dennen

From my humble beginning

To our bitter end

You were the one who was pretending

That I was your orphan

In a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn

I found a new place to dwell

I tore up my ticket to Tennessee

And checked out of the Hollywood hotel

You can call me a turncoat

Challenge my dignity

But you were wrong about me

Honey you were wrong all along about me

Take of your plastic halo

But don’t shun the monks inside your head

Give it to the gullible grooms

Who drink their snake oil beside your bed

In your conjured up courtroom

My integrity is on trial

The prosecution is gathering

Evidence from denial

You can preach to the choir

Say that I’m guilty

But you were wrong about me

Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me

Go tell all your friends about it

Tell the boys back home about it

Tell your nurses and nuns about it

Go tell all your cats about it

You were wrong, you were wrong

You were wrong, you were wrong

You were wrong, you were wrong

You were wrong, you were wrong about me

You were wrong, you were wrong about me

Stubborn cowboys click their boot heels

They’re all settling their debts

I’m not making any more deals

I ain’t placing no more bets

Downtown on wall street

Where the millionaires smoke their cigars

I traded all my savings for a new suit

And an electric guitar

You could say that I sold out

But nobody works for free

And you were wrong about me

Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me, about me

Honey you were wrong all along about me

Wrong about me
