Somebody Must Be Wrong (J.D. Souther)


Every time I write myself a letter
Somehow it always goes to you
There must be a way to do this better
Without giving away the ending like I always do
Now I love you when your dressed up in your whites and things
But you and just your boots and dreams will do
I'd like to say I believe in love I believe in you
But then you go around walking I get jealous too
Somebody must be wrong it's you worrying all night pacing till the dawn
Sometimes I wonder is anybody really that strong
Somebody must be wrong
You can walk away from me right this minute
But you'd be back before the sun was down
You see that rings on your finger would turn to dirt
And your smile would begining to hurt
You're gonna leave your little heart lying there on the ground
Somebody must be wrong you get the feeling and the words are wrong
I know what it means it takes so long somebody must be wrong
