Well you were wrong
Addressing the listener, asserting they were incorrect.
You were wrong
Reiteration of being wrong, emphasizing the point.
You were wrong
Continued assertion of the listener's error.
You were wrong
Emphasizing again the listener's mistake.
You were wrong now girl
Reaffirming the listener's wrongness.
Stayed away too long
Implying that the listener stayed away for too long, potentially from the relationship.
Now that ain't right

Continuously questioning the correct action.
And asked myself again
