Crime Of Passion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My body is the only place
Where we meet anymore
Thought that I could handle the heartache
Like I did before
I remember your warning
To never mention love
A little crime of passion
Is what I'm guilty of
There were no witnesses
Just the candlelight
Glowin' as your sweetness awakened
Every warm delight
Show me some mercy
What a fool I have become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Kisses ago it was so easy
Dreams we shared together faded to forever
And I just don't wear despair very well
I can tell
Now it's such a painful time
And I'm too far gone
Where are all the clever defenses
I depended on?
How could I be so crazy
To believe all the things you say?
A little crime of passion
Is takin' my breath away
Show me some mercy
What a fool I've become
A little crime of passion
That's what I'm sufferin' from
Baby, oh, just a little crime of passion
What I'm sufferin' from
What I'm sufferin' from
What I'm sufferin' from
Oh, just a little crime of passion
Is what I'm sufferin' from
