If Loving You Is a Crime (I'll Always Be Guilty) (with The Memphis Boys)

If loving you's a crime, give me time
I'll always be guilty
And sometimes I feel I'm on trial
For loving you, a little too much, child

You're the judge and the jury of my fears
And it's time for me to talk
Lord, listen here

If you don't want me to steal your heart, oh
Lock me up and throw away the key
And keep us both apart

And if they let me go, I know
I'd do the same thing all over again

If loving you's a crime, give me time
I'll always be guilty, hmm, yes I will

I stand before you, a condemned man
Because I had, a deliberate plan
To steal your heart, oh, and love away
But I got caught, what can I say?

Baby, I'm guilty, so guilty
Aah Lord I'm guilty
You know I know now
If they let me go
I know, I would do the same thing over again
And I tell you why
If loving you's a crime, give me time
I'll always be guilty
So guilty, I'm so guilty, baby
So guilty

Hey, now I'm sitting on a witness stand
I got to plead guilty
If it's a crime in this world
For a man to love a woman like you, I'm guilty, baby
Hey, somebody's got to let me know
I'll spend the rest of my life for loving you
