I Said The Wrong Thing To The Right Girl

You know I'll always remember

The first night that we met

I was a kid and you were a queen

With a touch I could never forget



I made my mind up easy

I didn't have much choice

I said the things that I had to say

In the wrong tone of voice



I got lost in my feelings

I didn't know what to do

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't stare

So afraid of loving you



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

Cuz love's a dangerous game to play, yeah

Love's a dangerous game to play



Hey

What's your name?

Can I buy you a drink?

How do I look?

And what does she think?



She took me home

And begged me to stay

We both knew what

I had to say



And as I got in the taxi

She blew a kiss goodbye

Sometimes I call out her name and I wonder

Why I didn't try



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

Cuz love's a dangerous game to play



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away, yeah

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

Cuz love's a dangerous game, a dangerous game to play



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away

I said the wrong thing to the right girl, yeah



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

Cuz love's a dangerous game, a dangerous game to play



I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I said the wrong thing, whoa yeah!

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

I had to turn and walk away

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

Sometimes I call out your name

I said the wrong thing to the right girl

You were the right girl

I said the wrong thing to the right girl
