Lyrics Percy Sledge

Percy Sledge

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

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

If being right means being without you, I'd rather live a wrongdoing life

Your mama and dad said, "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 there's no future in lovin' a married man.

If I can't see you when I want you, I'll see you when I can

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

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

Am I wrong to fall in love so deeply 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,

Knowing I got someone else's home, that needs me just as much?

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

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

Am I wrong to fall in love so deeply 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,

(Havin' got?) another loveless home that needs me just as much?

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

If lovin' 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 doin' without you

I don't want to be right, if it means lovin' without you

I don't want to be right, if it means sleepin' without you
