Lyrics
What’s Wrong With Mr. Right
V1
Well I was dressed to the nines, waiting on a ten.
I swore to momma I wouldn’t do this again.
Momma always said “Girl you gotta have faith,
The right one’ll come, but you may have to wait.”
Well another night of waiting didn’t sound like fun,
So I pulled my hair back, put my dancing shoe’s on.
I’d waited all night, waited so long.
Didn’t find Mr. Right, but I found Mr. Wrong!
Chorus
Been with the preacher’s son, first boy I ever dated,
Went with the quarterback, let me tell you...overrated.
Rode with a bad boy, got a tattoo to prove it.
The banker’s son, his account, not much to it.
The list is long, and it keeps growing.
What’s wrong with Mr. Right?
You’re just not showing!
V2
Now I’m washing dishes, doing his laundry
Why can’t I find a man to do this for me?
Feel like a wife with no rock on my hand.
I got a mamma’s boy, But I need a real man.
Daddy says “girl, you sure know how to choose ‘em”
Momma says “Baby, I told you you should lose ‘em”
But Mr. Right had me waiting so long that I settled for Mr. Right Now,
Who was Mr. Wrong!
Bridge
Yeah, I thought I’d found a good boy.
One that’d finally treat me right.
Oh I thought I’d found a good boy
But I’m left alone tonight.
So I got my dancing shoes on,
And I shortened up this dress.
Lost the list of men I’ve been through
Gave my Looking Days a rest!
