lyrics

Oh let me tell you all a tale of a guy from way back when
Well I shouldn't mischaracterize, this guy was my best friend
He tried so hard he meant so well, but he was always screwing up
But he never whined, no he just got back up

And he'll pick you up in his car, but not at the right time
He'll try to pay for dinner, but his card will be declined
You may think that he's just stupid, but look closer and you'll find
He's just the boy who's always wrong
He's just the boy who's always wrong

Well some of you out there, have got a smile on your face
You think you're better than the boy, well let me set the record straight
You may succeed at everything you do, but that doesn't mean you tried
Cause without a little failure, ask oh why

And he loves to go out dancing, but his feet can't find the time
He'll buy you sweets and flowers, but not your favorite kind
You may think he doesn't love you, but look closer and you'll find
He's just the boy who's always wrong
He's just the boy who's always wrong
The boy who's always wrong
He's just the boy who's always wrong

But you love him, ohhhh
But you love him, ohhhh
Oh but you love-ove him, ohhh
But you love-ove him, oh no
