Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give your affection
To another man
And I'll do my best, yeah
To understand
I crave your love, oh-ho
Like a blind man crave the light
It's all wrong but it's alright
[Verse 2]
When you're out in the cold
I'll give you my shirt
I'm someone to walk on
Someone you can hurt
'Cause it's your love, oh-ho
That's keeping me alive
It's all wrong but it's alright
[Verse 3]
You got me revved up
Little girl, I'm so caught up
But don't ever let me
Off the hook
[Verse 4]
Oh, it may be the wrong thing (Wrong thing)
But don't you know it's the right thing now? (Right thing)
Oh, in my book (Yeah), oh (Yeah), oh (Yeah)
Your kisses could bring a strong man to his knee
I'll hold you and tremble, yeah
And pray you won't leave
[Verse 5]
But I know, I know he's waiting
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Out there, somewhere in the night
It's all wrong but it's alright
Let me tell you, it's all wrong right now but it's alright
Let me tell you, I realize it's all wrong now, little girl
But it's alright
