You know sometimes in life there are situations
Talkin' about when a woman
needs to see an outside man
A man that has a wife and two
Somebody who's dependin' upon him
You see, there was a time in my life
a situation just like that
Especially on holidays, I'd want to sit by the phone and dial his number and knew I couldn't,
I just couldn't do it. I thought of writing a letter,
All my friends told me, they said, girl,
you know, you ain't got no future
You can't see him when you want,
Even my mom and daddy said,
it's a downright disgrace
All I remember saying to them is
Being without you means being without
Jack rather live alone in this life
My mama and daddy said it's a shame
It's a downright disgrace
But long as I got you by my side
I don't care what my people say
Friends all tell me it's no future
In love and a married man
But I can't see you when I want
Am I wrong to fall so deeply
No, you got a wife and two
For the gentleness of your touch?
No, you got a wife and two little children
If I'm wrong, tell me I'm wrong
Because I can't see you when I want to,
I don't want to be right, oh baby
I don't want to be right,
I don't want to baby, I don't care
If it means leaving the night, baby
If it means being without you
I don't care a thing about being right, baby
Mom and daddy said it's a shame,
Stand right this grace, baby
