how can anything so right be so wrong lyrics

(Jeannie C. Riley)

My troubled mind had planned to tell you no
I'd stay here at home where I belong
Then the phone starts to ring and my heart begins to sing
How can anything so right be so wrong.

The words I planned to say I can't recall
Your voice only makes my love grow strong
My conscience whispers no but my resistance is low
How can anything so right be so wrong.

My excited mind is searching for a reason
To get away again tonight from home
I know it's wrong to cheat but our love I can't defeat
How can anything so right be so wrong.

I feel so wrong at home knowing that I broke my vows
But when I'm in your arms I feel so right somehow
Right or wrong I know it's true I can't stop seeing you
But how can anything so right be so wrong...
