If Loving You Is a Crime (I'll Always Be Guilty)

If loving you is a crime
Then give me time
Cause I always be guilty
Sometimes, I feel that I'm on trial
For loving you too much, child

You're the judge and the jury
Of my peers
And it's time for me to talk
Lord, listen here

If you don't want me
To steal your heart
Lock me up and throw away the key
And keep us both apart

And if they let me go
I know it
I will do the same thing
Over again

So if loving you's a crime
Then give me time
Cause I'll always be guilty
Yes, I will

I stand before you
A condemned man
Because I had
A deliberate plan

To steal your heart
Oh, ,when the love away
But I got caught
What can I say?

Baby, I'm guilty, so guilty
Woo, Lord, I'm guilty
You know I know now

If they let me go
I know it
I will do the same thing
Over again

If loving you is a crime
Then give me time
Cause I always be guilty
So guilty, I'm so guilty, baby
So guilty

I'm sitting in here a witness stand
I got to plead guilty
If it's a crime in this world
For a man love a woman, I'm guilty, baby
Somebody got to let me know
I'll serve the rest of my life
For loving you
