Hold me down, keep me back, I don't know what Ill do
My baby's with that man again, I thought that they was through
Now she's found a boocoo love, and here my heart lies ashen
O lord where were you in my crime of passion
She warn me once, she warn me twice, the third time was the harm
I'm pounding at her door again, but no cause for alarm
She don't think that we're a match, but I think we be matchin'
O lord where were you in my crime of passion
Every day I'm waiting for my baby just to call
Ain't too proud to beg, and surely not to proud to crawl
I guess I'm just unworthy
Well, I was in the neighborhood, I thought that I'd stop by
I walked into her bedroom door, and much to my surprise
There they lay, as lovers do, and then I got to smashing
O lord where were you in my crime of passion
Locked up in the cooler I'm the new kid in the hall
But seeing her be happy wasn't happiness at all
And someone yelled, Orenthal
The warden said, Shut
your
trap
and
make
love
to
that
fool.
I'm serving here one million years, until the earth is through
Now I sit a lonely man waiting on his ration
O lord where were you in my crime of passion
