[Verse 1]
So, here's what happened this time
I'm sure that it's the last time
I'm over goin' over it, it's over once again
What am I gonna do with me?
I blew the opportunity
By sayin' somethin' asinine
I've gotta watch this mouth of mine

[Chorus]
I sure said the wrong thing right then
Try to forgive
I'll never say that again
As long as I live

[Verse 2]
As I remember the events
I'm tryin' hard to make some sense
My mouth is my arch-nemesis
You'd think that I'd be used to this
Nothin' nice to say, sticks and stones
I blew it now and I'm all alone
Let me take it back, I was only jokin'
My mouth is shut, but my heart is broken

[Chorus]
I sure said the wrong thing right then
Try to forgive
I'll never say that again
As long as I live
[Bridge]
I sure said the wrong thing
(Right then, I said the wrong thing)
I sure said the wrong thing
(Right then, I said the wrong thing)
I sure said the wrong thing
(Right then, I said the wrong thing)
I sure said the wrong thing right then

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
I was way ahead and I should've quit
Instead, I put my foot in it
My mouth, I hold responsible
What I need now's a miracle
So, that's what happened this time
No question, it's the last time
If I get out of this one with my skin
I'll mind the mouth that got me in

[Outro]
I sure said the wrong thing
(Right then, I said the wrong thing)
I sure said the wrong thing
(Right then, I said the wrong thing)
I sure said the wrong thing right then
Try to forgive
I'll never say that again
As long as I live
[Spoken] Sure hope that, as long as I live
