Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don't want to do wrong

But you been gone away

So long

And I hope

I hope you'll understand

That it's real, it's really

Oh, yes, it is

It's out of my hands

But I don't want to do wrong

I don't wanna do wrong

(But it's been so long)

Oh, it's been so long

(I just can't help myself)

(No, no, no)

[Verse 2]

Since you been away

(Since you been away)

I been prayin' everyday

(Been prayin' everyday)

For God to make me strong

Till you get back home

No, no, no, no

I don't wanna do

But my heart keeps tellin' me to

I know I tried with all of my might

Ah-ha, I think I've lost this fight

[Verse 3]

(I don't want to do wrong)

I don't want to do wrong

(But it's been so long)

Oh, it's been so long

(I just can't help myself)

I just can't, I just can't

(No, no, no)

Oh, yeah

[Verse 4]

No, I don't wanna

No, I didn't wanna do it

Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 5]

But then again, my dear

Time passed and I didn't hear

A comforting word

From you

To make me see

That you were still in love with me

So if, by chance, you've found another girl

Love her and I wish ya

All the happiness in the world

'Cause I've fallen in love and I can't break loose

I hope I can find happiness too

[Verse 6]

(I don't want to do wrong)

Ah, I don't want to do wrong

(But it's been so long)

Oh, oh, oh, it's been so long

(I just can't help myself)

No, no, no, no

(No, no, no)

No, no, no, no

Ah, I don't want to do wrong

(But it's been so long)

Baby, baby, baby

(I just can't help myself)

I just can't, I just can't

(No, no, no)

I just can't, I just can't, I just can't

(I don't want to do wrong)

I don't want to do wrong
