Testi
The verdict's in, you fixed the jury
I couldn't win not with my story
My weak defense got torn apart
Beyond a doubt, the case was covered
You picked me out from a line of lovers
Before you framed my foolish heart
Why don't you release me?
Oh, why not release me?
If love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time for sure
I was a clean cut kid before you found me
But soon you wrapped those arms around me
Every dance was dirty and slow
I can't resist the fat temptation
A single kiss could charm a nation
Straight to jail
Without passing go
Why don't you release me?
Oh baby, release me
Oh, if love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time for sure
She's got me shakin'
'Cause this woman is unlawfully fine
Won't be escaping
While she's achin' for a little hard time
There ain't no parole I'm forced to linger
Put a ring onto your finger
While you slam the door, baby, and slide the lock
Those things you hide under the covers
Would make the warden blush and shudder
Why they're guaranteed to make this jailhouse rock
Why don't you release me?
Oh baby, release me
Oh no, if love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time for sure
Why not release me?
Baby, release me
Oh no, no, if love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time
If love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time
If love is a crime
Then she's got me doin' time for sure
