Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another day has come and gone, twenty-four hours In a world where I don't belong Another week has passed me by And it's not because I didn't try [Chorus] Lord knows, I keep on trying but nobody saw me walking, nobody And I know nobody heard me talking, I don't know why I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong Yeah, I gotta do wrong before they notice me Yeah, mhm [Verse 2] Another job that I can't get A nice apartment where the landlord just won't rent And I go to bed, but my sleep won't come, oh, oh, oh My body's empty and my soul is numb [Chorus] Sad news, nobody saw me walking, oh no, no, no Nobody heard me talking Tell me why I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong I gotta do wrong before they notice me Little old me, mhm [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Yeah, hey, yeah I'm just a number and not a man So if I'm crazy, well, heh, who's to blame? [Chorus] No, not me, when nobody saw me walking, no, no Nobody heard me talking I believe I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong I gotta do wrong before they notice me [Outro] Lord, hear me now Oh, I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong I gotta do wrong before they notice me Yeah, they must be blind (Ain't it a shame?) When I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong I gotta do wrong before the people notice me I hope you don't mind if I say this one more time Come on and help me, y'all I gotta do wrong (Yeah), I gotta do wrong (Yeah) I gotta do wrong (Yeah) before they notice me Ah, maybe don't see me out there (Keep on singing the song) I gotta do wrong, I gotta do wrong I gotta do wrong before they notice me
