Wrong Number
 

Hello how are you?
 

Guess you’re wondering why I called
 

I thought the time was right
 

It’s very hard to say this, but…

I got you totally wrong…

 

I took you for a fool
 

I never really thought
 

About this kind of thing before
 

You’re justified to say what you will
 

But first…let me explain
 

I never really stopped to think
 

They say “truth lies within a name”
 

I put the wrong foot forward first
 

I wasn’t playing a game
 

Guess I’m still trying to hide my hurtful ways
 

Don’t know if I’ll ever know the truth ‘bout them
 

But please forgive me
 

Accept my apologies
 

This call was very hard for me
 

You must be able to see
 

Haven’t you anything to say?
 

Please, oh God, please don’t hang up
 

Respond please…even if it’s negative
 

I need your self-assurance
 

I need to hear your voice…
 

“I’m sorry, but you appear to have the wrong number

Which number did you want?”
