Lyrics

If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
If being right means living without you
I'd rather live wrong than right
My mama and daddy say, "It's a shame
It's a downright disgrace"
But as long as I've got you by my side
I don't care what my people say
My friends tell me there's no future
In lovin' a married man
If I can't see you when I want
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
Am I wrong to fall
So deeply in love with you
Knowing you got a wife
And two little children
Dependin' on you, too?
Am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch
Knowing you got someone else at home
Who needs you just as much?
Am I wrong to give my love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for tryin' to hold on
To the best thing I ever had?
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
Am I wrong to give my love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for tryin' to hold on
To the best thing I ever had?
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If it means livin' without you
(I don't want to be right)
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If it means sleeping alone at night
(I don't want to be right)
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)
If loving you is wrong
No, I don't want to be right
(I don't want to be right)...
