(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don’t Want To Be Right

If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
If being right means living without you
I'd rather live a wrongful life

Your mom and daddy it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
But long as I got ya by my side
I don't care what your people say

Your friends tell you
There's no future in loving a married man
If I can't see you when I want
I'll see you when I can

If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right

Am I wrong to fall
So deeply in love with you?
Oh, I've 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?

And are you wrong to give your love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for trying to hold on
To the best thing I ever had?

If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right

And are you wrong to give your love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for trying to hold on
To the best thing I ever had?

If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong
I don't want to be right

I don't want to be right
If it means livin' without you
I don't want to be right
If it means sleepin' at night
I don't want to be right
If lovin' you is wrong
Ooh, baby
I don't want to be right
I don't want to be right
If it means I can't have you
Every day of my life
Not havin' your love, ooh!
