It's the wrong time and the wrong place Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face It's not his face, but such a charming face That it's all right with me It's the wrong song in the wrong style Though your smile is lovely, it's the wrong smile It's not his smile, but such a lovely smile That it's all right with me [Chorus: x2] You can't know how happy I am that we met I'm strangely attracted to you There is someone I'm trying so hard to forget Don't you want to forget someone to? It's the wrong game, with the wrong chips Though your lips are tempting, they're the wrong lips They're not his lips, but they're such tempting lips That if some night you are free Well, it's all right, yes, it's all right Baby, don't you know it's all right with me?
