"The One I Love Is Wrong" lyrics - LEON RUSSELL

Standing here out in the rain
The night is cold and long
There's no chance you still love me
Not the way that love should be

I see you now as you think of him
The light is shining in your eye
There's no chance that you still love me

I try so hard to be a different way
In the way I look and the things I say
There's not a thing to be done
But to keep trying not to see

All my friends can try to say
That there's not an even chance
I can't keep going on
Is this the last dance?

Now my one true love is gone
All the nights will still be long
I will sing this song
'Cause the one I love is wrong

It's been said throughout all history
There's no way to heal the pain
There's no way to solve the mystery
When you find that love's in vain

Now I'm waiting for the dawn
All the nights will still be long
I will sing this song
'Cause the one I love is wrong
I'll sing this song
'Cause the one I love is wrong
