Love in the First Degree
I once thought 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 came and I was so tempted
To gamble on love just one time
I never thought, I would get caught
It seemed like a 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 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 begging 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
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
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, 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 (ohh, yeah)
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree (ohh, yeah)
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree -
A place I didn't want to be
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 a 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 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 begging 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
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
Ohh, yeah
Ohh, 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 (ohh, yeah)
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree (ohh, yeah)
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree
Love in the first degree -
