Verse 1
I downloaded that app just to see what’s out there,
A thousand cowboys, but not one seemed to care.
With a flick of my thumb, yeah, I’m takin’ my shot,
But all I’m gettin’ are heartbreak screenshots.

He’s got a six-pack, but no job to show,
Says he’s a farmer, but can’t spell grow.
His profile says he loves honkytonk songs,
But honey, I just swiped right for Mr. Wrong.

Chorus
Swipe right for Mr. Wrong, it’s the same ol’ deal,
Cowboy hats and empty hearts, but none of it’s real.
They’ll two-step ya off your feet, won’t stay long,
It’s another night of swipin’ right for Mr. Wrong.

Verse 2
We meet up at the dance, he’s already late,
Talkin’ ‘bout his ex while he cleans his plate.
Says he’s lookin’ for love, but he’s watchin’ the door,
As if the next cowgirl’s gonna be somethin’ more.

He buys me a drink, but forgets my name,
I guess online love’s just a numbers game.
He’s full of smooth talk and stories too long,
But once again, I swiped right for Mr. Wrong.

Chorus
Swipe right for Mr. Wrong, it’s the same ol’ deal,
Cowboy hats and empty hearts, but none of it’s real.
They’ll two-step ya off your feet, won’t stay long,
It’s another night of swipin’ right for Mr. Wrong.

Bridge
Maybe someday I’ll find a man who’s real,
Who don’t need an app to show how he feels.
But for now, it’s just me and this honkytonk song,
Dancin’ with the memory of Mr. Wrong.

Chorus
Swipe right for Mr. Wrong, it’s the same ol’ deal,
Cowboy hats and empty hearts, but none of it’s real.
They’ll two-step ya off your feet, they won’t stay long,
It’s another night of swipin’ right for Mr. Wrong.

Outro
Yeah, honey, it’s just swipin’ right for Mr. Wrong,
When all I ever wanted was to swipe right for Mr. Right… where’s he gone?

Right means, “Right”. Right?
