You Got the Wrong Man
Mistaken Hearts: Tim McGraw's Anthem of Love and Redemption
Lyrics
Your eyes say that you've been hurt before
Your eyes indicate past emotional pain.
And you can't take the heartache anymore
You're unable to bear more heartache.
You think I'll do what he's done to you
You fear I'll repeat the mistakes of someone else.
Break your trust and be untrue
Concern that I'll break your trust and be unfaithful.
But baby, this is me you're talkin' to
Emphasizing that I am the one you're addressing.
You got the wrong man, it's not me
Rejecting the assumption that I'm the cause of your pain.
A case of mistaken identity
Stating it's a case of mistaken identity.
I didn't break your heart you see
Denying responsibility for breaking your heart.
What can I do to make you understand
Expressing a desire to make you understand the truth.
You got the wrong man
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
I know you think that love will never last
Recognizing your skepticism about lasting love.
And you see your future like the past
Seeing your future as a repetition of past mistakes.
You don't want to make the same mistake
Avoiding the same errors is your priority.
You think that I'm one more to make
Fearing that I might be just another mistake.
But baby, I'm not him for goodness sake
Asserting that I am different from your past experiences.
You got the wrong man, it's not me
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
A case of mistaken identity
Emphasizing the error in attributing heartbreak to me.
I didn't break your heart you see
Denying responsibility for breaking your heart.
What can I do to make you understand
Expressing a desire to make you understand the truth.
You got the wrong man
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
You think I'll do what he's done to you
Repeating the fear of being compared to someone else.
Break your trust and be untrue
Reiterating the concern about trust and faithfulness.
But baby, this is me you're talkin' to
Asserting that I am not the person you fear.
You got the wrong man, it's not me
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
A case of mistaken identity
Emphasizing the error in attributing heartbreak to me.
I didn't break your heart you see
Denying responsibility for breaking your heart.
What can I do to make you understand
Expressing a desire to make you understand the truth.
You got the wrong man
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
It's not me, no
Stating definitively that I am not the cause of your pain.
Oh oh
An exclamation indicating certainty or emphasis.
You got the wrong man
Reiterating that you've misjudged me.
