[Intro]
Ohhhhh, yeah!
Chicago!
[Chorus]
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Verse 1]
Some might say I'm guilty of loving the first degree
If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key
There's no greater punishment than what I face inside
Won't tamper with the evidence cause there's nothing to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
What's inside my heart
I'm admitting to
(I'm admitting to)
You won't have a clue
Unless you felt it too
[Chorus]
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Verse 2]
Better tell the truth, just let me plead my case
The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape
He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime
So how can I give up to you, my partner in crime
[Pre-Chorus]
What's inside my heart
I'm admitting to
(I'm admitting to)
You won't have a clue
Unless you felt it too
[Chorus]
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Bridge]
You can take away my freedom
But you can't take my love from me
I won't die a lonely prisoner
'Cause my heart will set me free
Ohhhhh, oh yeah!
Whooh!
Chicago!
[Chorus]
I said now
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
Ooh!
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Ah c'mon!
Sentence me to life
I said love, love oh!
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
Ooh said love is a crime oh
If love is a crime baby
Ooh yeah!
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
[Outro]
I said love is a crime
