Honest Crime
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
I swear this time it's love in the first degree
I got no one but myself to blame
Just a foolish heart temporarily insane
Taking my chances, I've made some mistakes
Lord knows I've done my time
I can't win from losin'
Well, that's just the brakes
'Cause love is an honest crime
Oh girl, help me save my soul
From a lonely life sentence with no parole
If I'm convicted, I know too well
They're gonna sеnd me back to heartbreak hotеl
Taking my chances, I'm raisin' the stakes
I'm gonna roll the dice just one more time
Well, I plead guilty if that's what it takes
'Cause love is an honest crime
Well, I don't need to lie to you, baby
I'm layin' my heart on the line
We can talk about this and that
But we both know where it's at
Love is an honest crime
Taking my chances, I'm raisin' the stakes
I'm gonna roll the dice just one more time
Well, I plead guilty if that's what it takes
'Cause love is an honest crime
