Charley Pride Lyrics
"Right to Do Wrong"

(Jerry Foster)

You gave me every right to love you
Now you prefer that I leave you alone
You push me away from you and every time you do
You're giving me the right to do wrong.

You don't seem to notice that I need you
If you care at all it's never shown
Each time you wound my pride by pushing me aside
You're giving me the right to do wrong.

By causing me to turn to nameless faces
For a love that I can't find at home
By forcing me to look in other places
You're giving me the right to do wrong.

Perhaps the day will come when you want me
But you'll find the love I had for you is gone
Then while I'll live in shame you can share the blame
For giving me the right to do wrong.

For giving me the right to do wrong...
