Country Music/song help

Question
I really like a song I used to hear on country radio several years ago, but I can't remember the lyrics or the artist. It was a male artist. He sang about the woman that he's with, talking about how she was hurt but he's not the one who hurt her. I thought it said something like "he's not me" or "I'm not him" but I couldn't find the song when I searched for those phrases.

Answer
Hi Cassandra!  I think the song you're looking for is "You Got The Wrong Man," by Tim McGraw.  It was on his 1995 "All I Want" album, but don't think the song was ever released on the radio though...  Hope this helps!

Artist: Tim McGraw
Song: You Got The Wrong Man
Album: All I Want

Your eyes say that you've been hurt before
And you can't take the heartache anymore
You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me
You're talkin' to

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

I know you think that love will never last
And you see your future like the past
You don't want to make the same mistake
You think that I'm one more to make
But baby, I'm not him
For goodness sake

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

You think I'll do what he's done to you
Break your trust and be untrue
But baby this is me
You're talkin' to

You got the wrong man, it's not me
A case of mistaken identity
I didn't break your heart you see
What can I do to make you understand
You got the wrong man

It's not meee.... nooo...
Ohhh...
You've got the wrong man

Expertise

I can answer just about any question about lyrics or the artists who recorded the songs--80s and 90s country especially. I don't watch many new videos, but the older the video question, the more likely I am to be able to answer it.

Experience

I've been a country music fan for all of my 20+ years! I somehow have a knack for being able to remember all the words to all the songs (and who sang them for the most part) even though I can't carry a tune to save my life!

Education/Credentials
Juris Doctor. (So if I can't remember an answer off the top of my head, I have the research skills to figure it out!)
