Millie Jackson - (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
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
But 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 wanna
I'll see you when I can

[CHORUS]
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right
If lovin' you is wrong
I don't wanna be right

Am I wrong to fall
So deeply in love with you
Knowin' I got a wife
And two little children
Depending on me too

And am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch
Knowin' I got somebody else at home
Who needs me Just as much

[REFRAIN]
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]

[repeat REFRAIN]

[repeat CHORUS]

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
Log on to kill this message.
If loving you is wrong

[FADE]
