Lyrics:

You got a great apartment an' a real nice car.
The job you always wanted; you're gonna go far.
You got everything you need in this world,
But you got the wrong girl.

Everybody's lookin' 'cause you look so hot.
You don't know it yet, but I know what you got.
Go ahead an' give it a whirl,
But you got the wrong girl.

If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

Instrumental break.

Does she like fishin'?
Four wheelin' in the woods?
Will she get her hands greasy up underneath the hood?
I bet she never listens to Merle:
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

If you're lookin' for love, you're lookin' too hard.
You can't see that what you need is right in your backyard.
You were blinded by diamonds an' you missed a pearl.
You got the wrong girl.

Yeah, you got the wrong girl.

Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
You got the wrong girl.

Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
Yeah, you got the wrong girl.
