Mr. Right is about a guy who has a very inflated self-image, and yet is perceived by everybody as a jerk. We all know men like this, and sometimes we have no further to look than ourselves...
lyrics
MR. RIGHT
(Strider)
Throw out your dildo
Burn up your little red book
Your single days are over
And I’m too good to overlook
They call me Mr. Right
Yeah, they call me Mr. Right
In case you didn’t notice
They call me Mr. Right
I got more than enough
Of the stuff you really need
I’ll be right there on it
Satisfaction guaranteed
They call me Mr. Right
They call me Mr. Right
In case you might’ve missed it
They call me Mr. Right
I’m the one who’s the one for you
and there ain’t nothin’ you can do
I’ve made my connection in your direction,
I know my aim is true
I may look a little worn and frayed,
but I assure you I’m really well made
It would only do you good
If I only could
Steal your heart away
I don’t need a Maserati
I don’t need a Harvard degree
‘Cause I know how to love, how to give
How to squeeze & please
They call me Mr. Right
They call me Mr. Right
In case you might’ve missed it
They call me Mr. Right
Nah-nah-nah, Nah__nah-nah__ Nah-nah-nah (etc.)
(Instrumental solo - piano: Jon Strider)
Well, I’m the one who’s the one for you
and there ain’t nothin’ you can do
I’ve made my connection in your direction
I know my aim is true
I may look a little worn and frayed,
but I assure you I’m really well made
It would only do you good
If I only could
Steal your heart away
So, throw out your dildo
Burn up your little red book
Your single days are over
And I’m too good to overlook
They call me Mr. Right
Yeah, they call me Mr. Right
In case you didn’t notice
They call me Mr. Right
They call me Mr. Right
Yeah, call me Mr. Right
In case you might’ve missed it
They call me Mr. Right
