about

Lyrics and melody by Kelli King, with music by Jim, this was written and recorded as I Was Wrong as The Fritters, and online collaboration when Kelli was living in Texas and Jim in Boston, in reference to the classic singer Timi Yuro. To distinguish this from the Fritters version, Jim added the "so " for emphasis in the title. and Jim improvised the spoken verse out of personal experience.

lyrics

I Was Wrong
©Kelli King & Jim Bouchard

I was so wrong, ……to do what I did
to say what I said…I was wrong

I was so wrong……Isn’t that what you say
when things go astray….. “I was wrong”?

I was a fool to think that you would stay
not even a fool
deserves to be treated that way

I was so wrong…. I was selfish, I was cruel
not thinking about you,
I was wrong

(spoken verse)
I was so wrong, baby….. I guess I’m in the doghouse now
if you’d let me back in I’d apologize… there’s no explanation….And I'm so sorry now

and sorry doesn’t cut it when there’s no apology
that can undo the heartache caused by me

I was so wrong……… as you walk away
the last thing I’ll say .....is...I was wrong
