You've got the wrong man, you've got the wrong idea

You've got the wrong man, you've got the wrong idea

I think "Te equivocaste de hombre" for you've got the wrong man.

and

Te equivocaste de XXXX for whatever wrong thing you have (figurative)

but what about "you've got the wrong idea", like "you've got it all wrong"?

Surely not

Te equivocaste de idea.

when, cambiaste de idea is you've changed your mind.

What do you think?

"

  • Te equivocaste de hombre" or "you've got the wrong man". Correct!

    "You've got the wrong idea"or "you've got it all wrong" - "te equivocaste de idea" or "tienes la idea equivocada". Correct! "You've changed your mind" - "has cambiado de idea" "You changed your mind" - "cambiaste de idea". Correct!
