Week 15 - Got The Wrong Guy (04​-​14​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

I meant the words I said to you
You’re beautiful to me
But love is not so simple don’t you know
Never has been and never will it be

No I don’t regret a thing
I hope that you can say the same
Can’t force a feeling that’s a fact
It ain’t your fault that mine have changed

So if you’re looking for the fellow
Who has loved you since the start
If you’re asking for the man
Who’ll always hold you in his heart
Please don’t cry but you got the wrong guy

Unfortunately he is somewhere
Else this very moment
Sure I’ll tell him if I see him
But I’m not who you were hoping
So walk on by, you got the wrong guy

How should a lover look for love
When do we know the time is right
The best advice I’ve heard is try to let it go
Rebuild your happiness inside

And one extraordinary day
When it’s the last thing on your mind
Somebody strange will just appear
You won’t believe the love you find

So if you’re looking for the fellow
Who has loved you since the start
If you’re asking for the man
Who’ll always hold you in his heart
Please don’t cry but you got the wrong guy

Unfortunately he is somewhere
Else this very moment
Sure I’ll tell him if I see him
But I’m not who you were hoping
So walk on by, you got the wrong guy

There’s someone out there in the world
Who needs you just the way you are
I’ll help you find him if you want
So you no longer are apart

He may not look how you expect
Perhaps his arms are full of ink
Or suit and tie might match his eyes
He could be closer thank you think
