I love you for all the wrong reasons 
I need you every night and every day 
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons 
'Cause you love me in all the right ways 

Shimmering lips that kiss me 
And a body to make a fool of any man 
I'd like to run away, but 
I just haven't had all that I can stand 

Our love is like the darkness, 
It just keeps on getting deeper with the night 
And though we'd never say "I love you", 
You know it feels so good when we get it right 

I love you for all the wrong reasons 
I need you every night and every day 
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons 
'Cause you love me in all the right ways 

There's no reason for us to be here, 
But we are and we have been for some time 
Yeah, we both have other lovers, but 
What they don't know they sure don't seem to mind 

So we throw it to the wind 
We don't worry bout these pleasures that we steal 
'Cause there's oh so many reasons, but 
It's really how we make each other feel 

I love you for all the wrong reasons 
I need you every night and every day 
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons 
'Cause you love me in all the right ways

I love you for all the wrong reasons 
I need you every night and every day 
Yes, I love you for all the wrong reasons 
'Cause you love me in all the right ways...
