I May Be Wrong

Dick Haymes · Other Songs - Dick Haymes

I may be wrong but I think you're wonderful

I may be wrong but I think you're swell

I like your style say, I think it's marvelous

I'm always wrong so how can I tell

Deuces to me are all aces

Life is to me just a bore

Faces are all open spaces

You might be John Barrymore

You came along say I think you're wonderful

I think you're grand but I may be wrong

I may be wrong but I think you're wonderful

I may be wrong but I think you're swell

I like your style say, I really think it's marvelous

I'm always wrong so how can I tell

Deuces to me are all aces

Life is to me just a bore

Faces are all open spaces

You might be John Barrymore

You came along say I think you're wonderful

I think you're grand but I may be wrong

You said that Edison would never make that light

You laughed at Mr. Franklin with his key and kite

The point of the song is I'm always wrong

But with you baby I'm oh so right.
