Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's no secret somebody waits at home for you
And I know how hard this is for you to do
So if you really believe this love is so wrong
We don't have to carry on, but still, I wonder
[Verse 2]
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please, please tell me?
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
Oh, tell me why, why does it have to be?
[Verse 3]
You can't say that you didn't know where this might lead
And I know I couldn't have been that hard to read
But we both know this is not where you belong
There's no need to carry on
Oh, but I can't help but wonder
[Verse 4]
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please, please tell me?
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
Oh, tell me why, why does it have to be?
[Verse 5]
Oh, why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please, please tell me?
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
Oh, tell me why
Oh, tell me
[Verse 6]
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please, please tell me?
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
Oh, tell me why
[Verse 7]
Why does it have to be wrong or right?
Why does it have to be one way or the other?
Won't somebody please, please tell me?
Why does it have to be black or white?
Why do we have to hurt one to love another?
