Alabama Love in the First Degree

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
I once though 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
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

[Chorus]
Baby, you left me defenseless
But 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

[Verse 2]
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 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

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Love in the first degree[x7]
