Lyrics
If Loving You Is A Serious Crime
Verse #1
If they wrote up a law sayin? I couldn?t love you
They?d arrest me at once for lovin? you
No, I won?t deny I tried to steal your heart
But you stole mine first, I was yours from the start
PRE-CHORUS
Oh I?m guilty, Yes I am
Guilty of loving you
CHORUS
If lovin? you is a serious crime
I?m the number one offender guilty every time
If lovin? you is a serious crime
Then I?m the most wanted man that you?ll ever find
Verse #2
Bring in the jury, call the witnesses in
If loving you?s a crime, Then I?m as guilty as sin
I?d stand tall, look them strait in the eyes
and enter my plea; Yes, I?m ?Guilty as tried.?
PRE-CHORUS
Oh I?m guilty, Yes I am
Guilty of loving you
CHORUS
If lovin? you is a serious crime
I?m the number one offender guilty every time
If lovin? you is a serious crime
Then I?m the most wanted man that you?ll ever find
Verse #3
When the verdict?s decided and the jury?s called in
And they hand out the sentence, just let it begin
Sentence me to life, yeah a life with you
Now that?s doing time that I?m happy to do
PRE-CHORUS
Oh I?m guilty, Yes I am
Guilty of loving you
CHORUS
If lovin? you is a serious crime
I?m the number one offender guilty every time
If lovin? you is a serious crime
Then I?m the most wanted man that you?ll ever find
