I'll work on a revsion.
Is this line: "Hope you find a Mr. Right like he did" supposed to mean that the narrator left for a man? Yes, I recently watched "I love you Phillip Morris" like some people who come "out of the closet" after being married and sometimes after kids as well.
"hope you find someone right." That's a great suggestion. It would make it much more universal; although it leaves it ambiguous as to why the person left, but that might not be a bad thing.
It's catchy to say that Mr. Right was wrong, but it doesn't seem to fit. You could change it to "he was wrong for you." That could work. I suppose I am placing my own values in the song that he should not have gotten married, or should have stayed in the marriage, but that's not really stepping into the shoes of the character.

Great critique, Renee. You didn't let me get away with anything and that's a good thing :wink:

I have a big project I am working on at the moment, so I might not get to the changes too soon, but I'll keeping working on it as time allows.

Thanks for the listen and post :)

In the first verse, I don't get the meaning of "you were safe from here."

Is this line: "Hope you find a Mr. Right like he did" supposed to mean that the narrator left for a man? If so, why would he say "he was wrong leaving you?" Instead of "hope you find a Mr. Right" you could say "hope you find someone right." It's catchy to say that Mr. Right was wrong, but it doesn't seem to fit. You could change it to "he was wrong for you."]]> Sunday Songwriters Group Hobson https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w36-mr-right/#post-385141 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w36-mr-right/#post-45402 Thu, 10 Jul 2014 18:47:49 +0000 http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12841429

We had it all
We had everything
We had it all

And you threw it all away
I had you
You had me
We had it all

And you threw it all away
And all the tears
And all the shame
Can’t do anything for the pain

We had it all
We had everything
We had it all
And you threw it all away
And you threw it
You threw it all away

=====Revised Version=====
When you thought you married Mr. Right
Oh baby
There you were a blushing bride in white
It’s crazy
He seemed so sincere; now you find it "queer"

You thought you knew your Mr. Right
Now take some time to think it through
You thought you knew your Mr. Right
But he was wrong, wrong for you

Doesn’t matter day or night, don’t call
Him baby
He’s not coming back to you at all
No maybes
Hope you find a Mr. Right like he did

You thought you knew your Mr. Right
Now take some time to think it through
You thought you knew your Mr. Right
But he was wrong, wrong for you
Yes, he was wrong, wrong for you, wrong for you




=====Original Version=====

When you thought you married Mr. Right
Oh baby
There you were a bride in white and thought
Just maybe
You were safe from here; now you find it "queer"

You thought you knew your Mr. Right
Now take some time to think it through
You thought you knew your Mr. Right
But he was wrong leaving you

Doesn’t matter day or night, don’t call
Him baby
He’s not coming back to you at all
No maybes
Hope you find a Mr. Right like he did

You thought you knew your Mr. Right
Now take some time to think it through
You thought you knew your Mr. Right
But he was wrong leaving you
Yes, he was wrong leaving you, leaving you]]> Sunday Songwriters Group jamestoffee https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/y12w36-mr-right/#post-45402
