Lyrics

I, I don't wanna do wrong But you've been gone, gone away so long And I hope, I hope you'll understand That it's sho'nuff, baby, it's really Out of my hands But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it) No, no, no, hm-hm (can't help it) But I just can't help myself (No, no, no) Since you been away I been crying and prayin' everyday For God to keep me strong untill 'ya get back to home No, no, no, no baby, I don't wanna do it But my heart keeps tellin' me to You know I tried with all of my might Yes, I think I've lost this fight But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it) No, no, no, hm-hm (can't help it) But I just can't help myself (No, no, no) But then again, my dear Time passed and I didn't hear A comforting word from you to make me see (to see) That you were still in love with me So if by chance you've found ya' another girl Love her, baby, love her baby And I wish ya' all the happiness in the world 'Cause I've found a new love and I can't break loose I hope I can find happiness too But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it) No, no, no, baby (can't help it) But I just can't help myself (No, no, no, no, no) I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it) But it's been so long (I, I, I can't help it) I just can't help myself (No, no, no, no, ooh)
