[Verse 1]
I've been a victim of some sorry circumstance
That was committed by somebody else's hand
And only heaven knows how I've ended up so broke
I ain't guilty but I'm left fearing the stand
[Chorus]
It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man
[Verse 2]
How was I supposed to know that I'd be fooled?
And the sweetest kiss could ever be so cruel
I could always let it go, but it's out of my control
Now I'm right back here still holding on to you
[Chorus]
It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man
[Post Chorus]
Man, man
Man, man
[Bridge]
Wanting, to meeting
Cut me, I'm bleeding
This heart keeps on beating
For you
[Chorus]
It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
[Chorus]
It's not my crime, so why do I have to pay?
I'm doing time, this feeling I can't shake
I'm lost in the suffering for nothing
My heart don't understand
It's beating for an innocent man
[Outro]
Ooh...
