There's been a lot of toasting
A lot of guys have been up to her
But she told them she was waiting
For the one that God will send to fulfill her kind of craving
A special kind of loving
One with a lot of understanding
Come rain and come shining
People started to say that she wanted more than a Mr. Right
All that she wanted was a man that sees the light
They said she's a fool for being uptight
But all that she wanted was good love, no be fight
Special kind of girl, hard to come by
This kind of girl na in I want to make my wife
You are the one, say no more
Don't worry about what the people say
Cos I say
Chorus
Everytime that I look into your eyes
I see fire in there (fire)
And if you look into my eye
You will see desire in there (desire)
Girl, if love is a crime
Then I want to be wanted
Said if love is a crime
I am willing to be hunted
I got a lot of respect for you
Cos your kind is so rare (so rare)
It's kind of hard to imagine
But I know you are out there (you are out there)
Girl, if love is a crime
Then I want to be wanted
If love is a crime
I am willing to be hunted
She said to me
Do you wanna be
The last man standing
She said to me
Do you wanna be
The one that I am complementing
Oh yeah
Girl, I wanna be
Your beginning and your ending, oh
I wanna be the only one that you be sending
I can't believe that she's still a virgin
Lots of guys have been up to her
But there was no compromising
She be strong, she be keeping herself
Until the day of her wedding
Under the right ceiling
With the right person
A person deserving
Of a special kind of loving
Chorus
Everytime that I look into your eyes
I see fire in there (fire)
And if you look into my eye
You will see desire in there (desire)
Girl, if love is a crime
Then I want to be wanted
Said if love is a crime
I am willing to be hunted
I got a lot of respect for you
Cos your kind is so rare (so rare)
It's kind of hard to imagine
But I know you are out there (you are out there)
Girl, if love is a crime
Then I want to be wanted
Said, if love is a crime
I am willing to be hunted
So keep the fire burning
Keep the fire burning, burning, burning
Keep the fire burning loop
If love is a crime
Then I'd like to dey go jail
I said if love is a crime
Then I'll prefer to dey stay jail
Keep the fire burning
See, everytime that I look into your eyes
I see fire in there
And if you look into my eye
You will see desire in there, ei
Girl, if love is a crime
If love is a crime (2x)
