(Mascheroni And Robert Matlin)
If it's wrong wanting you
Wanting you as I do
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you

If it's wrong to desire
Lips that set me on fire
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you;

*You're my temptation
My heaven, my bliss
I never knew love
Could thrill me like this

So if it's wrong loving you
Heart and soul as I do
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you

*You're my temptation
My heaven, my bliss
I never knew love
Could thrill me like this

So if it's wrong loving you
Heart and soul as I do
Then my one sin in life
Is loving you

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
