Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “I May Be Wrong but You Look Right” by Norman Wade
“I May Be Wrong but You Look Right” is a soulful and wistful tune about personal missteps and heartache. The narrator reflects on a relationship that didn’t work out despite his best efforts, and muses on how his judgment was miscalibrated. He acknowledges that his perspective may be off-base, even wrong, but from his limited point of view, he can only conclude that his beloved appears to have made the right decision. Although he is full of regret, he still believes that his former partner did the right thing by choosing to move on. It’s a bittersweet reminder of our capacity to make mistakes and its heartbreaking consequences.
