Right Or Wrong
Kitty Wells Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Right or wring I dreamed about you all through the night
I was in love with you the moment that you came into sight
I hesitate to tell that I held you in my arms oh so long
But in my mind I made you mine right or wrong
Right or wrong oh my darling will this dream of mine come true
Right or wrong what is your answer for you know I am too blue
Why do you wait and hesitate I've waited for you oh so long
Hear my request and answer yes right or wrong

Right or wrong I dreamed that you and I were truly wed
The organ played the choir sang I know just what that preacher said
I kissed your lips and in return I felt you hold me oh so long

Your life begun for we were one right or wrong
Right or wrong oh my darling

Overall Meaning

, this dream of mine is strong
Right or wrong I’ll be with you even though I know it’s wrong
I’ll wait for you and hope and pray you’ll come to me before too long
And in my arms forever stay right or wrong

The lyrics to Kitty Wells' song "Right or Wrong" speaks about a person's longing for someone they love. The singer sings that they dreamed about the person they love all night and they were in love with them the first moment they saw them. They hesitate to tell the person they held them in their arms for so long but in their mind, they made them theirs right or wrong. The singer asks the person whether their dream will come true or not since they have waited for so long for an answer. They dreamed that they were married and they both felt each other's love. The singer bears the pain of knowing that it is wrong to be with this person, but they will still wait for the person to come to them in the hope of being together forever.
