LOVE IN THE FIRST DEGREE

By: Alabama

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.

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 the perfect crime.

Baby you've left me defensless.
And I've only got one plea.
Lock me away, inside of your heart,
and 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, then 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.

Baby you've left me defensless.
And I've only got one plea.
Lock me away, inside of your heart,
and throw away the key.
I'm guilty,
of love in the first degree.

(Love in the first degree.)
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah!

Baby you've left me defensless.
And I've only got one plea.
Lock me away, inside of your heart,
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!

(Love in the first degree.)
Oh, yeah!

(Love in the first degree.)
Oh, yeah!
