lyrics

CRIME (Clayton Doley)

If it pleases the court may I approach the bench
I need to say a few words in my defense
On the night in question my baby said she was going out
As it turns out it was under a false pretense
I said hey where you been you should have been back last night
She just smiled and said why you so uptight
I said hey I just want a simple explanation
I don't want to fuss and fight tonight

It was a crime of passion can't you see that in the same position you'd do the same as me
If it's a crime to love you too much then I'm guilty
If it's a crime to love you too darn much then I'm guilty as charged

If it pleases the court I call my first witness
so he can testify that I am not insane
It's my intention to make the jury see
what's done is done and no one is to blame

It was a crime of passion can't you see that in the same position you'd do the same as me
If it's a crime to love you too much then I'm guilty
If it's a crime to love you too darn much then I'm guilty as charged

Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
Do you dare to tell it straight, I can't wait for your testimony
Do you care enough share your affair with the woman that I love
Don't lie your alibi is phony
