love in the first degree þarký sözü

words and music by jim hurt and tim dubois
i once thopught of love as a prison a place i didn´t want to be.
so long ago i made a decision to be footloose and fancy free.
but you cam i was so tempted to gamble on love just one time.
i never thought i would get caught.
it seemed liek the perfect crime.
chorus:
baby, you left me defneseless.
i´ve only got one plea.
lock me away inside of your love and throw away the key.
i´m guilty of love in the first degree.
i thought it would be so simple, like a thousand times before.
i´d take what i wanted and just walk away, but i never made it to the door.
now babe, i´m not beggin´ for mercy.
go ahead and throw the book at me.
if lovin´ you´s a crime, i know that i´m as guilty as a man can be.
chorus
oh yeah. oh yeah.
chorus
oh yeah. love in the first degree.
love in the first degree.
love in the first degree.
