You're Wrong!

You’re Wrong!
words and music by Jane Voss

No matter how you choose to go
Somebody bound to tell you you’re wrong!

You get a big idea
You get a head full of steam
You get everything rollin’
And you take off down the road and try to realize your dream
And just when it seems
Your dream might really come true
Along comes somebody, say, “now
What you tryin’ to do?"

(and)You’re wrong! (you’re wrong!)
You’d better slow down, Rover
You’re wrong! (you’re wrong!)
You’d better go back and start over!
No matter how you choose to go
Somebody bound to tell you you’re wrong!

You’re tryin’ to get yourself together
You’re bein’ your own best friend
You make some changes for the better
And you’re so proud of makin’ so much progress on your end
You start to feel your strength
You think you’re really gonna go far
Then some joker turns up askin’
"Just who do you think you are?"

(and) You’re wrong!...

You got to make some decision
You gotta keep muddlin’ through
Try to maintain your vision
‘Spite of opinions to the contrary befuddlin’ you
You’ve got to move in some direction
Or you’re stuck where you stand
You may try to please ev’rybody
But if you think you can
(well) You’re wrong!...

Ah, well, I got myself this far
And, thanks, I’m doin’ okay
Well, it hasn’t always been bliss
And I’ve blundered and I’ve stumbled as I struggled on my way
But this way is my own
That’s the way that I’ve preferred
So if you think you’ll turn me ‘round
With some discouraging word
(well) You’re wrong!...
