Maybe I'm Doing It Wrong

Maybe I'm doing it wrong

Maybe I'm doing it wrong

It just don't move me

The way that it should

Maybe I'm doing it wrong



There ain't no book you can read

There ain't nobody to tell you

But I don't think I'm getting

What everybody's getting

Maybe I'm doing it wrong



Sometimes I throw off a good one

At least I think it is

No, I know it is

But I shouldn't be thinking at all

I shouldn't be thinking at all



Maybe I'm doing it wrong

Maybe I'm doing it wrong

It just don't move me

The way that it should

Maybe I'm doing it wrong
