[Verse 1: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
When love is light, it's got to be strong
When love is weak, it's got to be wrong
When you've got someone, your day is so bright
When you're alone, it's as dark as night
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
Honey (Honey), you may not be free to give your completely
But I know why

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
'Cause in my heart I know it's right to love you
'Cause in my heart I know it's right to love you

[Verse 2: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
Everyone says "You've got someone else"
That I'll never have you for myself
They say it's a love that can nеver be
They say that you arе wrong for me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
Oh, honey (Honey), you may not be free to give your completely
But I know why
[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
'Cause in my heart I know it's right to love you
'Cause in my heart I know it's right to love you

[Bridge: Gladys Knight]
It's alright, it's got to be right
Oh, it's alright, it's got to be right
It's alright
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
Oh, honey (Honey), you may not be free to give your completely
But I know why

[Chorus: Gladys Knight & The Pips]
'Cause in my heart I know it's right to love you
Oh, it's alright, it's got to be right
In my heart I know it's right to love you

[Outro: Gladys Knight]
It's alright, oh, it's alright
Oh, it's alright
Oh, come on and love me
Come on and love me
