Am I Wrong
Keb'Mo' Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I wrong, fallin' in love with you
Tell me am I wrong, well, fallin' in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you

Uh - Sweet thing
Tell me am I wrong, holdin' on to you so tight
Tell me, tell me, am I wrong, holdin' on to you so tight
If your other man come to claim you

He'd better be ready, ready for a long long fight
Well I gotta be strong, well I know you're dependin' on me
You know I gotta be strong, I know you're dependin' on me
To give you all of my attention

All of my time, and all of the love you need
Oh tell me, am I wrong tryin' to hold on to you
Tell me am I wrong, tryin' to hold on to you
I just wanna make a home for you baby,

And all of your children too
Tell me am I wrong, fallin' in love with you
Gotta tell me am I wrong, fallin' in love with you
While your other man was out there,

Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you




While your other man was out there,
Cheatin' and lyin', steppin' all over you
