So Wrong for So Long

  • When we first met
    On the rooftop of that hotel
    Everyone around us could see, we got on well

    So we took the elevator straight up to forty second floor
    When we kissed in your doorway, it's like we never kissed before
    I was in love again, and I knew that you were too
    We spent every night together, nothing was kaboom

    And early in the morning the sunlight in your hair
    I knew we stick together, you were the answer to my prays

    How could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (for so long)
    How could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (for so long)
    How could I (How could I) be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (for so long)

    All the time we spent together so close and true
    Living for each other together thru the blue (thru the blue)
    Two stars like lovers beneath the Tennessee moon
    We near as we could be
    Johnny Cash and June

    How could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (for so long)
    How could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long
    How could I (How could I) be so wrong? (so wrong) for so long (for so long)
    For so long (for so long)
    For so long

    Then I heard a rumor, from an old friend of mine
    He been seeing someone else, I never saw the signs
    I hope he make she happy, and that he is happy too
    And just like all the others, I'll get over you

    But how could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (for so long)
    How could I be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (so long)
    How could I (How could I) be so wrong? (so wrong) For so long (so long)
    How could I be so wrong? For so Long Writer/s: Dave Stewart, Richard Starkey
