about

This song chronicles the agony & ecstasy of infidelity. It's funny and painful. For sure, there ain't no right way to do the wrong thing, but I know many of you out there have tried...

lyrics

AIN’T NO RIGHT WAY (to do the wrong thing)
(Strider/McGilpin)
Bah-buh-dah-buh, etc.

Sittin’ at the bar mindin’ my own business
Sippin’ on a bottle of beer
In walks trouble in a tight red dress
High heels and long blond hair
She took the seat right next to me
I could hear my promises break
Face to face with temptation
I had a tough decision to make

Should I pass or take my chances
Roll the dice or hold the line
Could I take the consequences
I better think this through one time

I wish just once I could taste that honey
And never feel the sting
but, there Ain’t No Right Way
To do the wrong thing

Bah-buh-dabba, etc.

Thought to myself there ain’t no harm talkin’
Asked if I could buy her a drink
She said, “No thanks, but would you like to dance?”
Started slippin’ off my ring
I was holdin’ her on the dance floor
When she whispered in my ear
We could do a whole lot better
If we could just get out of here

Should I pass or take my chances
Roll the dice or hold the line
Could I take the consequences
I better think this through one time

I wish just once I could taste that honey
And never feel the sting
but, they’re Ain’t No Right Way
To do the wrong thing

Man, she’s lookin’ sweet as sin tonight!
How could something be so wrong,
and make me feel so right?

Well, I wish just once I could taste that honey
And never feel the sting
but, there Ain’t No Right Way
To do the wrong thing
No, there Ain’t No Right Way
To do the wrong thing
