Last night I was dreaming
I was locked in a prison cell
When I woke up I was screaming
Calling out your name (whoa)
And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me (the blame on me)
They wanna know from my story
They want to hear my plead
Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of love in the first degree
(Guilty) Of love in the first degree
Someday I'm believing
You will come to my rescue
And chain my heart, you'll keep him
Let me start a new (uuuu)
The hours passed so slowly
Since they've thrown away the key (Away the key)
Can't you see that I'm lonely
Won't you help me be
Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
Guilty as a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of love in the first degree
(Guilty) Of Love in the first degree
(Guilty)
Of Love
(Guilty)
Of Love in
(Guilty) of Love
(Guilty) of Love in
(Guilty)
Of love in the first degree
And the judge and the jury
They all put the blame on me
They wanna know from my story
They wanna hear my plead
Only you can set me free
'Cause I'm guilty (Guilty)
As a gun can be
Come on baby can't you see
I'm still accused
Of Love in the first degree
{Repeat 'til fade}
