If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right Lyrics

Barbara Mandrell If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want To Be Right

(Writers: H. Banks / R. Jackson / C. Hampton)
If loving you is wrong...
I don't want to be right
If being right means living without you
I'd rather live wrong than right
My Mama and Daddy say "It's a shame..."
"It's a downright disgrace"
But as long as I've got you by my side
I don't care what my people say
My friends tell me there's no future
In lovin' a married man
If I can't see you when I want...
I'll see you when I can
Bridge:
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...
Knowing you've got a wife and two little children
Depending on you too
Am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch...
Knowing you've got someone else at home
Who needs you just as much
Chorus:
Am I wrong to give my love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for trying to hold on
To the best thing I've 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
Repeat Chorus:
I don't want to be right...if it means living without you
I don't want to be right...if it means sleeping alone at night
I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong...No, I don't want to be right
