I've Been Wrong

Hollies · Here I Go Again/hear! Here! [2011]

(ransford)

I, I've been wrong before

But I know for sure

That I saw you last night

Out with another guy

It nearly made me cry

So I'm telling your girl

Stand by me my love

And I'll give you anything you want anytime you want

So stand by me my love

And I'll give you everything

And I'll give you everything

Break

Stand by me my love

And I'll give you anything you want anytime you want

So stand by me my love

And I'll give you everything

And I'll give you everything

I, I've been wrong before

But I know for sure

That I saw you last night

Out with another guy

It nearly made me cry

So I'm telling your girl

Cry

So I'm telling you girl

Cry

So I'm telling you girl

Cry
