If Love is a Crime
I know you’re no good for me but still I need you so
Can’t make no sense of my misery, I don’t know what there is to know
I lay awake at night dreamin’ of your kiss, it haunts me to my soul
I don’t know how much more of this, one poor man can hold
Because I’m guilty… I’m guilty… I’m guilty… if love is a crime
I took the stand, raised my right hand and I swore to tell the truth
She wrecked my place, lied to my face, stole my affection and my youth
I stand accused, mistreated and abused, how could she be so cruel?
The jury heard and the judge he said the word: you ain’t nothing’ but a doggone fool
He said I’m guilty… I’m guilty… I’m guilty… if love is a crime
I’m doin’ time in the prison of my mind cryin’ ‘cause I can’t break free
My love is buried deep, so deep that I can’t sleep haunted by your memory
I’m guilty… I’m guilty… I’m guilty… if love is a crime
