Hold me down and keep me back
I don't know what I'll do
My baby's with that man again
I thought that they was through
But now she's down a buku love
And here my heart lies ashen
Oh, lord, where were you in my crime of pa**ion!
She warned me once and warned me twice
The third time was the harm
I'm pounding on her door again
But no cause for alarm
She don't think that we're a match
But I think we be matching
Oh, lord, where were you in my crime of pa**ion!
Cause every day I'm waiting for my baby just to call
Ain't to proud to beg and surely not to proud to crawl
I guess I'm just unworthy...
Well I was in the neighborhood
I thought that I'd stop by
I walked in to her bedroom door
And much to my surprise
There they lie like lovers do
And then I got to smashin'
Oh, lord, where were you in my crime of pa**ion!
Locked up in the cooler I'm the new kid in the hall
But seeing her be happy wasn't happiness at all
And someone yelled [?]...
The warden said to shut your trap
And make love to that fool
I'm serving here one million years
Until the Earth is through
And now I sit a lonely man
Awaiting on his ration
Oh, lord, where were you in my crime of pa**ion!
