Lyrics

Mr. Wrong

[Verse]

He don't care where he's been playing

He doesn't hear a word she's saying

She's a fancy girl, so why's she staying?

Hanging on for Mr. Wrong

He doesn't show her that he needs her

She doesn't know his love's a liar

She's a fancy girl, got to be strong

Say, "So long, Mr. Wrong"

[Chorus]

Get out on your own, girl

Show him how

You can be strong, girl

You don't need him now

Run away, pretty girl

Say, "So long, Mr. Wrong"

[Outro]

Run away

Bye, bye
