Lyrics
I, I don't wanna do wrong
But you've been gone, gone away so long
And I hope, I hope you'll understand
That it's sho'nuff, baby, it's really
Out of my hands
But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it)
No, no, no, hm-hm (can't help it)
But I just can't help myself
(No, no, no)
Since you been away
I been crying and prayin' everyday
For God to keep me strong untill 'ya get back to home
No, no, no, no baby, I don't wanna do it
But my heart keeps tellin' me to
You know I tried with all of my might
Yes, I think I've lost this fight
But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it)
No, no, no, hm-hm (can't help it)
But I just can't help myself
(No, no, no)
But then again, my dear
Time passed and I didn't hear
A comforting word from you to make me see (to see)
That you were still in love with me
So if by chance you've found ya' another girl
Love her, baby, love her baby
And I wish ya' all the happiness in the world
'Cause I've found a new love and I can't break loose
I hope I can find happiness too
But I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it)
No, no, no, baby (can't help it)
But I just can't help myself
(No, no, no, no, no)
I don't wanna do wrong (can't help it)
But it's been so long (I, I, I can't help it)
I just can't help myself
(No, no, no, no, ooh)
