DON'T LET ME BE WRONG [original single version] (John Wilson)

I've been waiting all my life for you

Don't let me be wrong

'Cos I'm gonna make it right for you

As right as this song

I've been wasting all my time on you

Please hear me say


Don't let me be wrong or right (let me be right)

Or wait another day (let me be right)


When the look of love is in your eyes

See how they shine

Is it in your heart to sympathize?

Shine into mine

I've been waiting all my days for you

Needless to say


Don't let me be wrong or right (let me be right)

Or wait another day (let me be right)

(Let me be right)

(Let me be right)


I used to deny that love was wrong

'Til a girl like you kept me waiting around

And now it seems all my ups are down

And I can hardly wait a day

It's no wonder why


[guitar solo]


I've been wasting all my time on you

Please hear me say


Don't let me be wrong or right (let me be right)

Or wait another day (let me be right)

(Let me be right)

Or wait another day (let me be right)

(Let me be right)

Or wait another day (let me be right)

(Let me be right)

(Oh, let me be right)

(Oh, let me be right).
