Oh I’ve had some wild-man lovers
try and fill my young heart up
but of all those swing-shift daddies
he’s the one I can’t give up.
and he took me like an iceberg
crushing a passing ship
in the still night waters of memory
I’m drowning in my regret
Cuz I fell in love with the wrong man
I fell in love with the wrong man
I fell in love with the wrong man
I fell in love with the wrong man.
but he gave me what I needed
gave me pleasures I’ll always save
he reached up inside my longing
and drew a line for all my days
and the passion we felt was a razor
ripping through the skin of conceit
and I know I’ll never love another
now I know just what it means
to be in love with the wrong man.
I’ll never know my heart again
cuz I gave it away
to the wrong man.
