Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong
Mel Tillis · Let's Go All the Way Tonight (w/Sherry Bryce) [1974]
Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong, just a mismatch all along
Somehow love just don't belong here anymore
Loneliness moved in to stay driving happiness away
Now there's no use hanging on for Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong.
Once upopn a wedding ring we said I do but didn't
The ties that bind weren't strong enough I guess
The honeymoon is over now there's nothing left but leaving
But what's one more sad memory between us more or less.
Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong, just a mismatch all along
Somehow love just don't belong here anymore
Loneliness moved in to stay driving happiness away
Now there's no use hanging on for Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong.
--- Instrumental ---
Day by day for us, our love became more imcomplete
All we ever did was disagree
Until we lost that something that we once got for each other
Now the only thing we share is wanting to be free.
Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong just a mismatch all along
Somehow love just don't belong here anymore
Loneliness moved in to stay driving happiness away
Now there's no use hanging on for Mr. Right and Mrs. Wrong...
