Mike Ness - Crime Don't Pay lyrics

Drinking, gambling and women Stealin' hearts and playin' with guns But the laws the law and baby that's a fact And now i'm on the run Chorus: But this song ain't about none of the above We're not punished for our sins, but "by them" Thought i'd get myself a little pa**ion play But i can still hear them sayin'that crime don't pay My poor heart is aching It never did before It seems my "indiscretion" served a "painful lesson" And i'm still begging for more Chorus: I tried to mix romance with deceit A little pleasure now with my pain And i felt the loss on judgement day And i can still hear them sayin'that crime don't pay! Pour yourself a drink now Make it a double and chase it with tears But take heed my friends to this warning i give Before you're faced with all your fears Chorus: I'd rather face ten men than have a broken heart My crimes of pa**ion have done me in I'm sentenced to life each and every lonely day And i can still hear you sayin'that crime don't pay!
