Love In the First Degree Song Lyrics

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 a perfect crime



Baby, you left me defenseless

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



I thought it would be so simple

Like a thousand times before

I 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



Baby, you left me defenseless

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

(Love in the first degree) Oh yeah, oh yeah



Baby, you left me defenseless

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



Love in the first degree oh yea

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree oh yea

Love in the first degree

Love in the first degree

Love i
