Why does it have to be (wrong or right)

(verse 1)
it's no secret
somebody waits at home for you,
and i know how hard this is
for you to do,
so if you really believe
this love is so wrong,
we don't have to carry on
but still i wonder
(chorus)
why does it have to be wrong or right?
why does it have to be one way or the other?
won't somebody please please tell me
why does it have to be black or white?
why do we have to hurt one to love another?
oh tell me why, why does it have to be?
(verse 2)
you can't say that
you didn't know where this might lead
and i know i couldn't have been
that hard to read
but we both know this is not
where you belong
there's no need to carry on
oh but i can't help but wonder
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(bridge)
ohhh
why does it have to be wrong or right?
why does it have to be one way or the other?
(won't somebody please)
won't somebody please please tell me
why does it have to be black or white?
why do we have hurt one to love another?
(oh tell me, oh tell me)
oh tell me why
oh tell me
(chorus)
