love in the first degree
I once thought of love as a prison A place I didn't want to be But long ago I made a decision To be footloose and fancy free But you came and I was so tempted To gamble on love just one time I never thought that I would get caught It seemed like a perfect crime  Baby, you left me defenseless I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree  I thought it would be so simple Like a thousand times before I take what I wanted and just walk away But I never made it to the door Now babe I'm not begging for mercy Go ahead and throw the book at me If loving you's a crime I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be  Baby, you left me defenseless I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree (Love in the first degree) Oh yeah, oh yeah  Baby, you left me defenseless I've only got one plea Lock me away inside of your love And throw away the key I'm guilty of love in the first degree  Love in the first degree oh yea Love in the first degree Love in the first degree oh yea Love in the first degree Love in the first degree
