ALABAMA - Love in the First Degree Lyrics

Artist: ALABAMA

Album: Feels So Right

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Tim J. Dubois, Jim Hurt

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 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'd take what I wanted, and just walk away
But I never made it to the door

Now babe I'm not beggin' 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
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, 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, oh yeah
(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
Oh, oh yeah

(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
(Love in the first degree)
