Love In the First Degree
I once thought of love as a prison
A place I didn't want to be
But so long ago I made a decision
To be footloose and fancy free
But you came and I was so tempted
To gamble on love just one time
I never thought I would get caught
It seemed like the perfect crime
Baby, you left me defenseless
But 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 the thousand times before
I take what I wanted and just walk away
But I never made it to the door
Oh now, babe, I'm not begging for mercy
Go ahead and throw the book at me
If loving you's a crime
I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
Baby, you left me defenseless
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
(Love in the first degree) oh yeah, oh yeah
Baby, you left me defenseless
But 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
Love in the first degree, oh yea
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree, oh yea
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
A place I didn't want to be
But so long ago I made a decision
To be footloose and fancy free
But you came and I was so tempted
To gamble on love just one time
I never thought I would get caught
It seemed like the perfect crime
Baby, you left me defenseless
But 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 the thousand times before
I take what I wanted and just walk away
But I never made it to the door
Oh now, babe, I'm not begging for mercy
Go ahead and throw the book at me
If loving you's a crime
I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
Baby, you left me defenseless
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
(Love in the first degree) oh yeah, oh yeah
Baby, you left me defenseless
But 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
Love in the first degree, oh yea
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree, oh yea
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
