The first time that I fell to pieces I was

Strung out over the moonwalk and you

I was confused by your shiftin' face and

By the changin' key of your tone

Waitin' for your call to be my mistress

My paramour, oh, you be my own



You're so beautiful when you're wrong

Yeah, so beautiful when you're wrong

You turn me on and now you're stringin' me along

Still so beautiful, oh, so beautiful



One day the laws of love and justice will

Bring you to the prison I call my home

Can't forget the past without gettin' busted

Now you have to find a way on your own

So my carbon web is sneakin' up behind you

And your sorry fate will ultimately find you



You're so beautiful when you're wrong

Still so beautiful when you're wrong

You turn me on and now you're stringin' me along

You're so beautiful, still so beautiful



Though she refused to feel me mind

Tell about me clearer mind and want

But I long for her as the sails for the sea

Or the touch is for the morning sun

I wanna be your only one



Underneath, at the late night party, your doorbell

Passed out drunk, the next time you find me

I'll be sure not to wander off too far

But won't be the last time that you blind me

Let me up a creak in a stormy side

Needed you and you were gone



You're so beautiful when you're wrong

Still so beautiful when you're wrong



You say you never had to cause me any harm

Or confusion

So I'm leavin', oh, this is my freedom song

So beautiful when you're wrong
