From my humble beginning To our bitter end You were the one who was pretending That I was your orphan
In a brownstone apartment in Brooklyn I found a new place to dwell I tore up my ticket to Tennessee And checked out of the Hollywood hotel
You can call me a turncoat Challenge my dignity
But you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me
Take of your plastic halo But don't shun the monks inside your head Give it to the gullible grooms Who drink their snake oil beside your bed
In your conjured up courtroom My integrity is on trial The prosecution is gathering Evidence from denial
You can preach to the choir Say that I'm guilty
But you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me
Go tell all your friends about it Tell the boys back home about it Tell your nurses and nuns about it Go tell all your cats about it
You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong You were wrong, you were wrong about me You were wrong, you were wrong about me
Stubborn cowboys click their boot heels They're all settling their debts I'm not making any more deals I ain't placing no more bets
Downtown on wall street Where the millionaires smoke their cigars I traded all my savings for a new suit And an electric guitar
You could say that I sold out But nobody works for free
And you were wrong about me Honey you were wrong all along about me, about me, about me Honey you were wrong all along about me Wrong about me
