Now they all said she was wrong for me
   Her tender words were not what they seemed
   But, Lord, it's hard puttin' up a fight
   When the wrong one loves you right
  
   It's easy to fall, and easy to crawl
   When you taste a little and you want it all
   You close your eyes and hold on tight
   When the wrong one loves you right
  
   But take it from a fool who lost his cool
   That girl's tricks sent me back to school
   It messes with your heart
   It messes with your mind
   When the wrong one loves you right
  
   Now boys I'm certain it just ain't worth it
   All that cryin' and all that hurtin'
   And it's so hard to say goodbye
   When the wrong one loves you right
  
   But take it from a fool who lost his cool
   That girl's tricks sent me back to school
   It messes with your heart
   It messes with your mind
   When the wrong one loves you right
  
   It messes with your heart
   It messes with your mind
