I once thought of love as a prison
A place I didn't want to be
So long ago, I made a decision
To be footloose and fancy-free
Brandy Clark:
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 the perfect crime
Baby, you left me defenseless
But I've only got one plea
Lock me away inside of your love
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'd take what I wanted and just walk away
But I never made it to the door
Now, babe I'm not beggin' for mercy
Go ahead and throw the book at me
If lovin' you's a crime
I know that I'm as guilty as I 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
(Love in the first degree)
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
(Love in the first degree)
Oh, yeah, guilty
(Love in the first degree)
Oh, yeah, guilty
(Love in the first degree)
Ooh, yeah, I'm guilty
