(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right by Luther Ingram

If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life
Your mama and daddy say, "It's a shame
It's a downright disgrace long as I got you 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 to
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?
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 somebody else at home
Who needs me just as much

And are you wrong to fall in love
With a married man?
And am I wrong 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

Are you wrong to give your love
To a married man?
And am I wrong 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 sleeping alone at night
I don't want to be right
If it means coming home at night
I don't want to, I don't want to
I don't want to, never, never, never be right
