Am I Wrong
Keb' Mo' Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I wrong, well, 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

Look at you
Tell me am I wrong, holdin' on to you so tight
Tell me am I wrong, (get your groove on brother)holdin' on to you so tight
If your other man tries to claim you

He'd better be ready, ready for a long long fight
I gotta be strong, well I know you're dependin' on me
Yeah, yeah I gotta be strong, 'cause 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
What next?
Am I wrong, yeah yeah, tryin' to hold on to you (tryin' to hold on to you)
Tell me if I am wrong, yeah, tryin' to hold on to you
I just wanna make a home for you baby

And all of your children too
All of your children too
Tell me, tell me, tell me, am I fallin' in love with you
While your other man cheatin' and steppin' all over
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
