Becky had a guy she was crazy about

Met him in her home room class

She wore his letter jacket and she had no doubt

That what they had was gonna last



They talked about kids and a little white house

With a porch swing and picket fence

But on graduation night he went out with the guys

She ain't never seen him since



She had the right plan, just the wrong man

But she ain't giving up on love

Her hearts been broken but she understands

She had the right plan, just the wrong man



Now Becky is a beautician at the cut and curl

And Willy works for ups

Willy asked Becky if she'd be his girl

And Becky told Willy yes



They sneak out to the van and they make their plans

Five acres and a set of twins

But she caught Willy with the waitress from the waffle house

Checkin' out at Holiday Inn



She had the right plan, just the wrong man

But she ain't giving up on love

Her hearts been broken but she understands

She had the right plan, just the wrong man



Now all her girlfriends they just shake their heads

Sayin' girl you got some nerve

But Becky don't care knows he's out there somewhere

She ain't never givin' up



She had the right plan, just the wrong man

But she ain't giving up on love

Her hearts been broken but she understands

She had the right plan, just the wrong man
