Cover art for The Wrong Man Was Convicted lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

I wonder if the "crime" he committed was getting her pregnant and then refusing to marry her. Then some other guy came along that loved her and would love her child without quibbling about it "not being his". Now the woman he thought he could go to whenever he wanted is happily married to the responsible, caring guy. And he knows it's his own doing.
