Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me darling tell me please is it wrong
Have I waited for so long has your love for me gone
Is it wrong is it wrong for loving you
Way down deep inside my heart you're the only love sweetheart
Yes the only true love I ever knew
But I ask myself inside no need telling myself lies
[ piano - steel ]
Is it wrong for loving you...
Is it wrong is it wrong for loving you
