Content[edit]

"Wrapped" is a mid-tempo where the narrator explains his inability to stop thinking about a lover who has left.


This is the second single of George Strait's career that was written and originally recorded by Bruce Robison. The first such single was Robison's "Desperately", also a cut from his album Wrapped, that Strait covered on his 2003 album Honkytonkville.

Critical reception[edit]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic cited the song as a standout track on It Just Comes Natural, saying that the song was "laid-back" and that Strait's backing band sounded "natural" on the track.[2]
