Lyrics
Fugitive Called Love
You're the prime suspect in a crime against my heart
You penetrated my defenses and you shook my world apart
I keep chasin' you Baby but you're A Fugitive Called Love
When I think I've caught you I lose you once again
An elusive Mourning Dove you slip right through my hand
I keep chasin' you Baby but you're A Fugitive Called Love
Sirens keep on wailing screaming warnings to my brain
Still I refuse to listen in spite of all my pain
I stumble on blindly to each new lonely place
When suddenly I realize it's just a, another time, another face
Oooh, I keep chasin' you Baby but you're A Fugitive Called Love
