You've got a great apartment and a real nice car
The job you always wanted - you're gonna go far
You've got everything you need in this world
But you've got the wrong girl

Everybody's looking cause she looks so hot
You don't know it yet but I know what you've got
Go ahead and give it a whirl
But you've got the wrong girl

If you're looking for love, you're looking too hard
You can't see that what you need is right in your back yard
You were blinded by diamonds and your mistaken pearls
Yeah you've got the wrong girl

Does she like fishing, four wheeling in the woods
Does she get her hands greasy up underneath the hood
I'll bet she never listens to Merle
Yeah you've got the wrong girl

If you're looking for love, you're looking too hard
You can't see that what you need is right in your back yard
You were blinded by diamonds and your mistaken pearls
Yeah you've got the wrong girl

Yeah you've got the wrong girl
Yeah you've got the wrong girl
You've got the wrong girl
Yeah you've got the wrong girl
Yeah you've got the wrong girl
