Love In The First Degree — текст песни (Alabama)

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, that I would get caught
It seemed like the perfect crime

(Chorus)
Baby you left me defense-less
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 beggin` 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

(Chorus)

Love in the first degree (oh-oh yeah)
Love in the first degree
Oh Yeeeaaaah!

(Chorus)
