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
Baby you left me defenseless
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
Baby you left me defenseless
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, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Baby you left me defenseless
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, oh yeah
(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
Oh, oh yeah
(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
