Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong

Big Dee Irwin, Lynn Farr

[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
