Lyrics
[Verse 1] I once though 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 loving you's a crime I know that I'm as guilty as a man can be [Chorus] 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 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 [Outro] Love in the first degree Love in the first degree Love in the first degree Love in the first degree Love in the first degree Love in the first degree Love in the first degree
