The night we met
A night that I won't forget
You've seen what I've been waiting for
But baby, I've been wrong before
You held me tight
And everything seemed just right
I couldn't ask for more
But baby, I've been wrong before
She used to smile at me
And hold my hand like you do
Then she left me
And broke my heart in two
See your face
And feel your warm embrace
You're all that I adore
But baby, I've been wrong before
Oh baby, I've been wrong before

“"I get bracketed together with Randy Newman: the acerbic singer-songwriter who doesn't sell any records. He rankles at the mention of my name. I've never done anything to him. I love him. But I understand it. I manage a reasonable size audience without playing by the rules. People forget that he's a fantastic pop songwriter. He's right up there with Bacharach & David, Goffin & King, Mann & Weill — those people. There's a version of this by Dusty and by Cilla. Cilla's version of it is quite good actually, back in the days when she still took singing quite seriously.” — Elvis writing in Q Magazine, June 1995.
