“The Right Kind Of Wrong" (L. Rhymes)

I know all about
Yeah about your reputation
And now it's bound to be a heartbreak situation

But I can't help it if I'm helpless
Every time that I'm where you are

You walk in and my strength walks out the door
Say my name and I can't fight it any more

Oh I know I should go
But I need your touch just too much

Loving you

That isn't really something I should do
I shouldn't wanna spend my time with you ya

Well I should try to be strong
But baby you're the right kind of wrong
Ya, baby you're the right kind of wrong.

It might be a mistake
A mistake I'm makin'
But what your giving

I am happy to be taking…
