Love in the First Degree - Alabama

作词：Jim Hurt/Tim DuBois

作曲：Jim Hurt/Tim DuBois

I once though 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 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

Oh yeah

Oh 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

Oh yeah

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Oh yeah

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree
