Love in the First Degree

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, I would get caught
 It seemed like a perfect crime
 Baby, you left me defenseless
 But 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'd 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 lovin' you's a crime
 I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be
 Baby, you left me defenseless
 But 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
 Ohh, yeah
 Ohh, yeah
 Baby, you left me defenseless
 But 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 (ohh, yeah)
 Love in the first degree
 Love in the first degree (ohh, yeah)
 Love in the first degree
 Love in the first degree
 Love in the first degree
 Love in the first degree -
