Why, I don't wanna do wrong
But you've been gone away so long
And I hope, but I hope you will understand
That it's really, really, yes, it is, it's out of my hand
I don't wanna do wrong
I don't wanna do wrong
But it's been so long, oh, it's been so long
I just can't help myself, oh no, no, no, no
Since you've been away
I've been prayin' every day
God, to make me strong, oh
Till you come back home, come back home
No, I don't wanna do
What my heart keeps telling me to
No, I've tried with all of my might
I believe, I lost this fight
I don't wanna do wrong
I don't wanna do wrong
But it's been so long, oh, it's been so long
I just can't help myself, oh no, no, no, no, no, I, oh
But then again, my dear
Time passed and I didn't hear
A comforting word from you to make me see
That you were still in love with me
So if by chance you found another girl
Love her and I wish you all the happiness in the world
I'm fallin' in love and I can't break lose
I hope I find happiness too
I don't wanna do wrong
I don't wanna do wrong
But it's been so long, oh, it's been so long
I just can't help myself, oh no, no, no, no
I don't wanna do wrong
I don't wanna do wrong
But it's been so long, oh, it's been so long
I just can't help myself, oh no, no, no, no
