Locked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer(it`s such a shame, he took the blame)Seems even love possesses treachery tooBut how can love be cruel (he`s doin` time)(he`s doin` time, ain`t it a crime)(it`s such a shame, he took the blame)
Seems this old worldHas lost its wayOn such a tornAnd troubled dayLocked in her room the lover mourns her betrayer(he`s doin` time, ain`t it a crime)Seems even love possesses treachery too(it`s such a shame, he took the blame)But how can loveBut how can loveBut how can love be cruel (he`s doin` time)(he`s doin` time)
