Oooh Yeah 
Chicago

[Refrain:]
If love is a crime baby 
I'd do my time 
Whether it's wrong or right 
You can sentence me to life 
If love is a crime baby 
I'd do my time 
Whether it's wrong or right 
You can sentence me 
Sentence me to life

[Verse 1:] 
Some might say I'm guilty of love in the first degree 
If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key 
There's no greater punishment than what I face inside 
Won't tamper with the evidence cause there's nothing to hide

(He lives inside my heart) 
(I'm in the middle too) 
I'm in the middle too 
(You never had a clue) 
Unless you felt it too

[Refrain:] 
(If love is a crime) baby 
I'd do my time 
(Whether it's wrong or right) 
(You can) sentence me 
Sentence me to life 
(If love is a crime) baby 
I'd do my time 
(Whether it's wrong or right) 
You can sentence me 
Sentence me to life

[Verse 2:] 
Better tell the [bad word]  just let me plead my case 
The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape 
He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime 
So how can I give up to you, my partner in crime

(He lives inside) my heart 
(I'm in the middle too) 
Ooh yeah yeah 
(You never had a clue) 
Unless you felt it too

[Refrain:]
(If love is a crime) baby 
I'd do my time 
Whether it's wrong or right 
You can sentence me 
Sentence me to life 
(If love is a crime) baby 
I'd do my time 
Whether it's wrong or right 
You can sentence me 
(Sentence me to life)

[Bridge:]
You can take away my freedom 
But you can't take my love from me 
I won't die a lonely prisoner 
'Cause my heart will set me free 
Oooh ooh yeah 
Whooh! 
Chicago

[Refrain:]
I said now 
(If) love is a crime baby 
I'd do my time 
(Whether it's wrong or right) 
Ooh 
(You can) sentence me 
Sentence me to life 
(If love is a crime baby) 
I'd do my time 
(Whether it's wrong or right) 
You can (sentence me) 
Ah c'mon! 
(Sentence me to life)

I said love, love oh! 
(If love is a crime baby) 
(I'd do my time) 
(Whether) it's wrong or right 
(You can sentence me to life) 
Ooh said love is a crime oh 
(If love is a crime baby) 
Ooh yeah 
(I'd do my time) 
(Whether it's wrong or right) 
You can sentence me 
Sentence me (to life)

I said love is a crime
