Verse 1

  [2: ]

If loving you is wrong

  I don't want to be right

  If being right means being without you

  I'd rather live a wrongdoing life

Your mama and daddy say it's a shame

It's a downright disgrace

But as 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

  If I can't see you when I want

  I'll see you when I can

Chorus

  If loving you is wrong

  I don't want to be right

  If loving you is wrong

  I don't want to be right

Verse 2

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 someone else at home

Who needs me just as much

[1: And] 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

[repeat chorus]

Instrumental break

[repeat chorus]

Coda

  I don't want to be right

  If it means being without you

  I don't want to be right

  If it means sleeping at night

  I don't want to be right

  If loving you is wrong [fade]
