If Loving You Is Wrong (i Don't Want To Be Right) Lyrics - Barbara Mandrell

(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
