Wrong Man

I feel you moving, slipping away

I try to call, but I can't find the

words to say

My lips move, ah but they don't make a sound

I hear your voice baby, but you're nowhere around

I close my eyes, I can't find my sleep

My wounds will not heal, you cut me too deep

My mind is strong but my spirit is weak

I got to get back on my feet

Well, you can be so cruel

Oh, that I just don't understand

Do the tears that I cry baby

Hey, does it make you feel like a man

And I told you once boy,

Oh baby let me tell you again

You can't do right cause you're the

Wrong man

Chorus:

You're the wrong man

You're the wrong man

You're the wrong man

I hear you calling, but I ain't no fool

I've got to be stronger

I've got to get over you

Each time I cry, its a sign of my pain

Every tear that falls, carries your name

All I know is it cannot go on

Everything I do for you is wrong

Ain't nothing I can say or can do

I just got to, I gotta get up child

I gotta move

Hear me baby

Tell me what you want me to do

Ain't my, my my my, ain't my lovin good enough for you

I told you once boy, baby lemme tell you again

You can't do right cause...

(Chorus)

You know I love you

But sometimes love ain't enough

And I don't wanna leave you

Baby but I'm giving you up

And I told you once boy

And I don't wanna tell you again

You can't do right cause

You're the wrong man

You can't do right baby

You can't do right baby

I'd rather lose you child

Than to lose my mind, yeah

Said I'd rather lose you, child

Thann to lose my mind
