(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want to Be Right Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
Long as I got you by my side
I don't care what your people say
Your friends tell you it's no future
In loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want to
I'll see you when I can
[Chorus]
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
[Verse 2]
Am I wrong to fall so deeply in love with you
Knowing I got a wife and two little children
Depending on me too
And am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch
Knowing I got somebody else at home
Who needs me just as much
And are you wrong to fall in love
With a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
To the best thing I ever had
[Chorus]
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Are you wrong to give your love
To a married man
And am I wrong trying to hold on
To the best thing I ever had
[Chorus]
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong I don't wanna be right
[Outro]
I don't wanna be right
If it means being without you
I don't wanna be right
If it means sleeping at night
I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong
