If Our Love Is Wrong

Calum Scott English

Verse 1

I don't know how I should say itIn my mind, it's every word, that they don't wanna hearI don't know how they might take itMaybe you can take the pressure, and make it disappearThrow out the inhibitionYou make me feel a feeling that I've never felt beforeI don't know if they're gonna like itBut that only makes me want it more

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I'm nobody's but yours

Chorus

If it's me, and if it's youAnd if our love is wrongThen I don't ever wanna be rightI don't ever wanna be rightIf it's real, and if it's trueAnd if our love is wrongThen I don't ever wanna be rightI don't ever wanna be right

Post-Chorus

Oh, yeah, ohI just want you to be mine

Verse 2

Why would I need their permissionSkin and bones, I'm only humanIt's in my DNASuffocating just to fit inWhy do I care what people say

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I'm nobody's but yours

Chorus

If it's me, and if it's youAnd if our love is wrongThen I don't ever wanna be rightI don't ever wanna be rightIf it's real, and if it's trueAnd if our love is wrongThen I don't ever wanna be rightI don't ever wanna be right

Post-Chorus

Oh, yeah, ohI just want you to be mine

Outro

Oh, yeah, ohI just want you to be mine
What the song means

A love song about rejecting social judgment and choosing personal happiness over conformity. The singer declares he'd rather be "wrong" with his partner than "right" without them, refusing to let others' opinions dictate his relationship. It's an anthem of devotion that prioritizes authentic love over societal expectations.

Learn a word

inhibition — restraint or shyness that prevents you from doing something

Here it means removing self-consciousness and fear of judgment.
