Love Is a Crime

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh yeah Chicago [Chorus] If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me to life If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me Sentence me to life [Verse 1] Some might say I'm guilty of love in the first degree If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key There's no greater punishment than what I face inside Won't tamper with the evidence 'cause there's nothing to hide [Pre-Chorus] What's inside my heart I'm admitting to (I'm admitting to) You wouldn't have a clue Unless you felt it too [Chorus] If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me to life If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me Sentence me to life [Verse 2] Better tell the truth, just let me plead my case The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime So how can I give up to you my partner in crime? [Pre-Chorus] What's inside my heart (My heart) I'm admitting to (Oh yeah, yeah) You wouldn't have a clue Unless you felt it too [Chorus] If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me to life If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me Sentence me to life [Bridge] You can take away my freedom But you can't take my love from me I won't die a lonely prisoner 'Cause my heart will set me free, oh yeah Woo, Chicago [Chorus] I said now if love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me to life (Sentence me, sentence me to life) If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me (Ah, come on) Sentence me to life (I said) If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether It's wrong or right You can sentence me to life If love is a crime, baby I'd do my time whether (Oh yeah) It's wrong or right You can sentence me Sentence me to life [Outro] I said love is a crime
