Oowee,
oowee lord I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong, if lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If bein' right means bein' without you
I'd rather live a long poor life
Your mommy and daddy
said it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
But as long as I got you by my side
I don't care what nobody says
Your friends tell you there's no future
In loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want
I'll see you when I can
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong
Don't wanna be right
Am I wrong to fall
So deeply in love with you?
Lord, I've got my wife
and three little children
Dependent on me too
Am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch?
Knowing I've got someone
there at home
Who needs me just as much
Are you wrong to give your love
To a married man?
And am I wrong for trying to hold on
To the best thing I ever had
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong
Don't wanna be right
Oh, girl
I don't wanna be right
If bein' right
Means bein' without you
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong, yeah
Are you wrong to give your love
to a married man?
And am I wrong for tryin' to hold
on to the best thing I ever had?
If lovin' you is wrong,
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong,
don't wanna be right
From the top down
If loving you was wrong
I don't want to be right
If being right
Means being without you
I'd rather live alone, don't lie
Your mommy and daddy said
It's a shame
It's a dumb, disgrace
But as long as I got you by my side
I don't care what nobody says
Your friends tell you there's
no future in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want,
I'll see you when I can
If love and you is wrong,
I don't wanna be right
If love and you is wrong,
then I wanna be right
you
