Wrong Number
Dialing the Wrong Harmony: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Timothy B. Schmit's 'Wrong Number'
Lyrics
You're telling me this
You are communicating this information to me.
Telling me that I'm out of hand
You're expressing that I'm behaving inappropriately.
Well maybe it's this
Possibly, it could be this.
Maybe it's that you don't understand
Perhaps it's that you lack comprehension.
Keep on talking to me
Continue speaking to me.
You're loud as thunder
Your communication is as loud as thunder.
I don't matter baby
My opinions or feelings don't seem to matter, baby.
''cause I think you got the wrong, wrong number
Because I believe you have dialed the incorrect number.
You know I talk in my sleep
I reveal my inner thoughts during sleep.
You got me worried and weak
You're causing me concern and vulnerability.
I can't take it
I can't endure it.
''cause everytime that you shout
Every time you raise your voice.
Baby there ain't no doubt
There's no uncertainty, baby.
Got to shake it
I need to shake off the impact.
Why can't ya
Why can't you?
Why can't ya let it be
Why can't you just let things be?
It brings me under
It subdues me.
You live a fantasy
You're living in a fantasy.
Don't you think you got the wrong, wrong number
Do you not think you've dialed the wrong number?
I don't mean to sound too rough
I don't intend to be too harsh.
But you know better
But you are aware.
I've had enough
I've reached my limit.
My telephone rings and it's you on the line
My phone rings, and it's you on the line.
But my love's unlisted don't you waste my time
But my love is private; don't waste my time.
You got the wrong number
You've chosen the wrong number.
Baby check it and see
Baby, verify it and confirm.
Think you got the wrong number
You probably have the wrong number.
Instead of living in doubt
Instead of dwelling in uncertainty.
Why don't you figure it out
Why don't you comprehend it?
Why can't ya
Why can't you?
Why can't ya let it be
Why can't you let things be?
It brings me under
It subdues me.
You live in a fantasy
You live in a fantasy.
Don't you think you got the wrong number
Do you not think you've dialed the wrong number?
Baby check it and see
Baby, verify it and confirm.
Think you got the wrong number
You probably have the wrong number.
Instead of living in doubt
Instead of dwelling in uncertainty.
Why don't you figure it out
Why don't you comprehend it?
