Lyrics

Tellin' you, you'll like this one
For all the married men, this one
Keep it in your trousers
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
But if I can't see you when I want to
Honey, I better see you when I can
If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right
Never right, babe
If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right
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
If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right
If loving you is wrong, baby, I don't wanna be right
Woo
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?
If loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right, woo
If loving you is wrong, honey, I don't wanna be right, woo
I don't wanna be right
If it means I have to come home to her every night
I don't wanna be right
If it means I have to sleep at night
I don't wanna, woo, I don't wanna
I don't wanna ever, never, never
I don't wanna be right, baby
