Jim Carroll - Love Crimes lyrics

Hollywood looks good at night The TVs get fine reception But last night Jean told Steve About her imminent conception She wants a plum tree for the house, for their child Stevie raised his head and said, "That's wild!" Stevie tried and tried Jean would not comply She said, "Your partying needs, you see, Ain't nothing to this seed in me You make love a crime Billy don't live in his spirit Billy don't live in his heart Billy walks around Times Square at night His body is his art Life is easy when you're pretty and 16 Just make sure that your underwear is clean Billy don't ask why He just stares at the sky He says, "Love always leaves you bent, This way I pay the rent." He makes love a crime I still believe in romance I just think there's something missing 'Cause last night just by chance, I saw you and Ivan kissing Jealousy rose up right From its hole Just when I had it all under control Say goodbye, goodbye 'Cause you're both gonna die Don't ask me why It's all in your eyes, You made love a crime Don't ask me why It reflects in your eyes You made love a crime
